 mt is the Manifest Tool which should be present in the
Visual Studio
installation directory. Also, it is available in the
Microsoft Windows
Software Development Kit (SDK).

This message suggests you have some other 'mt' binary
somewhere. Do you 
have any idea what that might be?

I note that in some cases, 'mt' is invoked without calling
the setup script.
Here's the relevant code:

          if ! [ os.name ] in NT
                {
                    flags msvc.link .MT $(cond) :
$(command[$(i)])$(manifest-tool) -nologo ;
                }
                else
                {
                    flags msvc.link .MT $(cond) :
$(manifest-tool) -nologo ;
                }

Anybody knows the rationale for this logic?

I do - its the "mount tape" command from my *nix
shell.  I suppose its
in my path.  I generally use the MKS kornshell.

I just checked cygwin - it doesnt have such a command.

I looked in to the bni directories of the msvc 8.0 and
didn't find
any MT command.

Anyway, now I know what it is I guess I can fix it.

I'm using MSVC 8.0 Express Edition. I could find no mt.exe
in those
files but I did find such a file in my VC 2003/Common
7/bin/winnt directory.
I made a copy into the bin directory of the msvc 8.0 express
edition.
When I ran bjam again I got the output below.  This suggests
to me
that either the mt.exe I have (dated 6/19/2002) is out of
sync with the
current one or the msvc.jam file isn't quite right.  Again,
any help
would be appreciated.

That appears to be how it was all along.  The original code
didn't
separately call the setup script:
http:
//svn.boost.org/trac/boost/changeset/29192

On the other hand, it doesn't need to, because it was
already called
in an earlier line of the action.

The change that added the branch that *does* call the setup
script was
checked in by you:
http://svn.boost.org/
trac/boost/browser/trunk/boost/tools/build/v2/tools/msvc.jam
?rev=32306
