How do you guys compile Boost libraries in your project when all the header files are linked using angle brackets?
For example in Visual Studio and C++ builder (Embarcadero) a link such as:
#include
won't compile but a link such as:
#include "boost/config.hpp"
Has no problems.
How are we suppose to change the files so that there is no such problems.
I would like to use only a few libraries in certain projects but changing the files is going to take a heck of a ling time bearing in my mind some files contains nested headers!!
Am I missing something here. Surely there must a be a solution because these libraries have been going on since 1999!!
You add to your IDE's include path wherever you installed the particular Boost release you want to use. Then the form of
find that header file relative to that include path.
I am using VS code and compiling the code using Embarcadero bcc32c.exe. OK I'll try using Visual Studio Community Edition to see if it works for me. I want to get used to using Boost and learn something new from the libraries and perhaps create something useful from them. Thanks for the response.
