Logs

Here is a log from before I added boost*: b2/4.7.1 to my profile [build_requires], when it was using b2/4.8.0 from the Boost recipe. The log after my change is basically the same, just with a different version of b2.

I found #9047 reporting that Boost could not be built after the release of VS 2022 with the old b2/4.5.0 it used in its recipe. That was fixed in #9069 by updating the build requirement to b2/4.7.1, and @conan-center-bot reported that it worked with all version of Boost back to 1.69.0. Since then, the build requirement has changed to b2/4.8.0. I have tried both 4.8.0 and 4.7.1 (by editing the [build_requires] in my profile, as seen above), and neither work.

I have seen #10644 and #10135, but those are not the issue I'm having.

I can build boost/1.78.0 with my profile just fine.

I was able to install boost/1.77.0 with VS 2022 by changing compiler.toolset=v142, but that's only because it was able to download a binary package. I would still call this a bug. I still cannot build Boost.
