My lappie has vs2017 installed, latest (15.4) version, from some days ago.
I did the following:
1. Put a clean copy of the boost 1.65.1 source in c: root.
2. issue 'bootstrap.bat' in c:\boost_1_65_1\ (ordinary prompt, no vs
thingy).
This creates a project-config.jam msvc file.
3. Copied (overwrote project-config.jam) the below contents as
project-config.jam to c:\boost_1_65_1\
=======start=======
import option ;
using clang : 6.0 :
"C:\\Program Files\\LLVM\\bin\\clang++.exe" :
<compileflags>-fmsc-version=1911
<compileflags>-DBOOST_USE_WINAPI_VERSION=0x1000
<compileflags>-DBOOST_USE_WINDOWS_H=1
<compileflags>-D_WIN32_WINNT=0x1000
<compileflags>-DNOMINMAX
<ranlib>"C:\\Program Files\\LLVM\\bin\\llvm-ranlib.exe"
<archiver>"C:\\Program Files\\LLVM\\bin\\llvm-ar.exe"
<linkflags>-fuse-ld=lld
<linkflags>-flto=thin
;
option.set keep-going : false ;
=======end========
4. issue 'bjam -d0 --clean'
The script of that, and the result is below:

C:\Users\User>cd \
C:\>cd boost_1_65_1

Bootstrapping is done. To build, run:

To adjust configuration, edit 'project-config.jam'.
Further information:

C:\boost_1_65_1>bjam -d0 --clean
'C:/Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
etc.. etc... the rest is history?
Any ideas?
