Boost cpp and Visual Studio 2015

I'm trying to run a cpp application on Visual Studio 2015. This application was developed with Visual Studio 2010 using boost 1.55 so I compiled the library with b2 --toolset=msvc-10.0 --build-type=complete architecture=x86 address-model=64 stage, added the dll folder in the linker section and the include directory in the addictional includes. Nonetheless I still get a lot of errors like:

namespace "std" do not include member "time_t"
namespace "std" do not include member "system"

Have you any ideas on how I could solve this problem?

Thank you.

Ok, this looks a bit messy.

First, add the correct includes :

#include <ctime>   //for std::time_t 
#include <cstdlib> // for std::system

Then, when building boost for msvc2015, you have to choose the msvc-14.0 toolset not msvc-10.0 (this is for msvc2010) and a coherent architecture (either 32 or 64). so your build command would look like this : 

b2 --toolset=msvc-14.0 --build-type=complete address-model=64 stage //for 64 bits
