Calling the file test_boost.cpp this ran without errors for me:

library(Rcpp)
sourceCpp("test_boost.cpp")

and repeating the test runs shown at the link you mentioned gave the
same answers as there.  I am using Windows 8.1, the same Rcpp and BH
versions as you and

> R.version.string
[1] "R version 3.1.2 RC (2014-10-25 r66870)"

and this version of Rtools:

C:\Rtools>type VERSION.txt
Rtools version 3.1.0.1942
