Dear all, I want to start using boost and tried the steps provided in http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/more/getting_started/windows.html. http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/more/getting_started/windows.html#auto-... My system is Windows 7 with MS VC 2008 and I would like to use boost from the command line. I run bootstrap.bat and bjam.exe to build all libraries. However, when I want to compile the example file (http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/more/getting_started/windows.html#link-...) which uses the 'regex' library it does not find it. Command: c:\Users\Duke\My_Projects\boost_python>cl /EHsc /I c:\boost_1_50_0 testBoost.cpp /link /LIBPATH:C:\boost_1_50_0\libs\ Microsoft (R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 15.00.21022.08 for 80x86 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.

Do I have to set a variable for the library path for MSVC 2008? How? Any help is very much appreciated! Thanks, Ronny
