Hi I am wondering whether or not anyone here has had any experience using the boost libraries. I'm using VS 2003 as a complier and complied the boost libraries for it. At this point i am wondering how i like the actual library files to VS, do i just use include statements or what. Thanks in advance. |

I use the boost library in VS2005 To link the libraries to your compiler, go to: Tools >> Options In the projects and solutions menu, go to: VC++ Directories and select the drop down menu to the right labeled "Executable Files" and change it to "Include Files" (Platform==win32) Add a new Include directory to "C:\Boost\include\boost-1_33_1" (or wherever you have that folder unpacked) then in your application you: #include <boost/whatever_module> |

still a problem, i did what you told me and under the boost folder, i put the libs folder, however when i try to compile the following program: Quote: #include "stdafx.h" #include "boost/filesystem/operations.hpp" // includes boost/filesystem/path.hpp #include "boost/filesystem/fstream.hpp" // ditto int main() { return 0; } I get this error Quote: Rename fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_filesystem-vc71-mt-sgd-1_33_1.lib'
Anyone know where this file is to be located? i added it to the boost, directory as well as the /boost/filesystem directory with no success. Thank you in advance for your help[/quote] |

you need to include the lib directives too. do the samething you did for the includes, but select library this time, and direct it to the lib folder |
