I selected to install the libraries for Visual C++ 8.0, but I still had to put manually into C++ Options Dialog the directories to boost includes, libs and binaries. Shouldn't this be done by setup?
I'm not sure if there's a way to do that, and even then, would it really be appropriate to force those settings on all of a user's projects?
These settings are not per-project in VS, at least not typically (I'm not sure whether per-project include paths are even possible). Neither do they hurt, in particular not with Boost, where all headers are in a subdirectory. On the other hand, you _have_ to add the include and library paths, or else hard-code the full path to the Boost includes in the include file names. Nobody does that. Sebastian Redl
