 <p>I am having the same issue. But I was able to compile the Boost.Locale with referring <a href="http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/libs/locale/doc/html/building_boost_locale.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> . So basically what I did was:</p> <pre><code>bjam --with-locale -sICU_PATH=C:\icu stage link=static,shared </code></pre> <p>It found ICU and was able to create <code>static</code> and <code>shared</code> files. Hope this helps.</p>
