Installing boost on Windows 10
<p>I am so frustrated installing boost. Yes, I did read tons of materials on the web, including the original (boost) guidelines and many similar topics on StackExchange, but it did not help. Making long story short:</p>

<ul>
<li>I have VS2015 (community version)</li>
<li>boost_1_62_0 (downloaded)</li>
<li>minGW (just in case)</li>
</ul>

<p>As normally advised, I launched the Developers Command Prompt (in order to have MS Visual Studio started) and the result was:</p>

<pre><code>C:\Users\Arnold\Desktop\boost_1_62_0&gt;bootstrap.bat
Building Boost.Build engine
'cl' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Failed to build Boost.Build engine.
Please consult bootstrap.log for further diagnostics.

You can try to obtain a prebuilt binary from

   http://sf.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7586&amp;package_id=72941

Also, you can file an issue at http://svn.boost.org
Please attach bootstrap.log in that case. 
</code></pre>

<p>Basically, it means that system cannot find a compiler. I tried to run with 'gcc' added in regular root cmd (".\bootstrap.bat gcc"), but got the same result.</p>

<p>My bootstrap.log file is:</p>

<pre><code>###
### Using 'gcc' toolset.

C:\Users\Arnold\Desktop\boost_1_62_0\tools\build\src\engine&gt;if exist bootstrap rd /S /Q bootstrap 

C:\Users\Arnold\Desktop\boost_1_62_0\tools\build\src\engine&gt;md bootstrap

<p>Is using VS2015 a better idea? Any clues? </p>
