Building MongoDB C++ driver on Windows: boost not found

This is how I'm trying to build C++ driver:

scons --32 --dynamic-windows --prefix="h:\3rdparty\MongoDB\src\bin\" --cpppath="h:\3rdparty\boost" --libpath="h:\3rdparty\boost\lib32-msvc-12.0\" install-mongoclient

And this is what I get:

Checking for C++ header file boost/version.hpp... (cached) no can't find boost headers

...
fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'boost/static_assert.hpp': No such file or directory

I'm positive that my 3rdparty\boost is the right dir: it contains a folder named "boost", which contains all the boost headers. So boost/static_assert.hpp should be resolved for this folder no problem.

What am I doing wrong?

This is the latest driver sources from git repository as of today.

Try to compile with

... --cpppath="h:\3rdparty\boost\" ...

Note backslash \ at the end.
