Let's go step by step and first build boost build system.

"I include the file ('tlhelp32.h'). It is compiled without any errors."

So, that file is present on the disk. Environment variables are set differently for cl.exe which is run by bootstrap.bat. Include files are searched by cl.exe in the INCLUDE env variable. Find tlhelp32.h on the disk and in the Visual Studio Command Prompt add this path to the INCLUDE:

set INCLUDE=%INCLUDE%;

If some .lib will not be found look at LIBPATH env variable.

I suppose VS2013 vcvars*.bat files did not set the environment properly.
