VS2015 image does not contain Boost 1.64 : it only contains versions up to
1.63.
1.64 and 1.65.1 are included only in VS2017 image. See
https://www.appveyor.com/docs/build-environment/#boost for full details
This is not an issue introduced by this bug, but my patch highlights the
problem: currently, this build expect Boost 1.64, which is not present, thus
the C++ lib is not built.
With my patches, the C++ lib can be built (even without Boost), but the
tests still require Boost: so building in this case would require an extra flag
to disable tests.
Since the goal is (I think...) to actually build with a recent version of
Boost, I downgraded the version the most recent installed version in the image.
