[C++] Error building bundled Boost on Windows

[pitrou]

Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform.

On Windows x64, I get this error with -DBOOST_SOURCE=BUNDLED:

I couldn't reproduce this on GitHub Actions: https://github.com/apache/arrow/actions/runs/13516005446/job/37764706158?pr=45621

Could you share your full cmake command line?

[kou]

Could you also share C:/Users/pitro/arrow/cpp/build-test/boost_ep-prefix/src/boost_ep-stamp/boost_ep-build-*.log?

[pitrou]

CMake command line:

cmake .. -GNinja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DARROW_BUILD_SHARED=ON -DARROW_BUILD_STATIC=OFF -DBOOST_SOURCE=BUNDLED -DARROW_BOOST_USE_SHARED=ON -DARROW_BUILD_TESTS=ON -DARROW_PARQUET=ON -DPARQUET_REQUIRE_ENCRYPTION=ON

Here are Boost configure log and build log.

[kou]

Thanks.

Could you also provide cmake ... log?

How did you setup your console? Open "Developer Command Prompt for VS 2022"? call "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Enterprise\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" x64?

It seems that all auto-detections failed on your environment. For example, default address-model : none [1] on your environment and default address-model : 64-bit [1] on GitHub Actions. You may need to do something to setup your environment...

You may need to do something to setup your environment...

You're right, but I don't know what to setup :)

Upgrading bundled Boost may solve this.
