Cleanup

[austin-beer]

These are a series of commits that been sitting in my local workspace for a couple of weeks now. I was going to wait until after I'd finished the win32 changes before submitting them, but I decided to go ahead and submit them now to get them out of the way.

See the commit log for the list of changes I made.

Great we start to see green run in windows :)

[austin-beer]

A few green runs, at least. :)

FYI, the 64-bit Windows builds are failing due the unit tests exceeding the 260 character filepath limit on Windows. Every filepath includes \msvc-14.1\debug\address-model-64\threadapi-win32\threading-multi. Do you know if there is an easy way to shorten this? On the 32-bit builds the filepaths don't have \address-model-64 which is just enough to keep them under the 260 character limit so they don't fail.

Thanks for the info. /threadapi-win32 was added in order to do cross compiling.

No I don't know how to shorten them.

Could you create a issue for Boost.Build with the specific compiler report?

I've added --abbreviate-paths

[austin-beer]

--abbreviate-paths sounds like the solution we need. Thanks for adding that.

Glad to help. Which AppVeyor build are you looking at that's all green?
