The default behavior of windres.exe to read the output of the preprocessor is using popen. However, the popen implementation may be buggy on some non-English hosts, which would cause a compilation error like this: windres.exe: can't open file `page:': Invalid argument Fix by adding '--use-temp-file' option and windres.exe will use a temporary file to read instead of using opoen.

Should Boost.Build be modified the same way? |
I haven't tried compiling this library through b2, don't known if it can work or not. I will test it tomorrow, BTW, bootstrap of b2 itself does not work because of the same problem, I'd like to create a PR for that later. |

The error doesn't occur if the library is built with b2. Support for the event log is actually disable since b2 only support mc.exe but not GNU's windmc.exe. |

Ok, thanks for checking. And for the PR. |

It can be fixed by adding --use-temp-file option and windres.exe will use a temporary file to read instead of using opoen. I also tried compiling with the option on English-only locale and it also works fine, so it is probably a good idea to add it.
