Hi,
1 My program under Code Blocks makes use of Boost.
I had to google Code Blocks, I've never heard of it before.
The arrangement of my files is the following: in the directory of the source files of my program there is the directory "boost" containing the following directories:
"filesystem", "config", "iterator","range","detail", "mpl", "preprocessor", "tools" and the file boost-build.jam.
Have you followed the instructions at: http://www.boost.org/more/getting_started/index.html for the compiler that you are using with Code Blocks?
2 The file that makes use of boost in my project contains the following lines:
#include <string>
using namespace std;
Placing a using namespace before the includes of more headers seems sloppy at best.
#include "boost\filesystem\path.hpp"
#include "boost\filesystem\operations.hpp"
using namespace boost::filesystem;
3 At build I get the message :"boost/preprocessor/config/config.hpp" no such file or directory and several other similar messages about other files of the same directory and about other files of the "mpl" directory.
Lookup how to specify an include path with your compiler and/or with the Code Blocks IDE. Or ask how to do that on the newsgroups/mailing list for your compiler or IDE. This is a common task when using any library.
I've followed all the instructions here
_http://www.boost.org/doc/html/jam/building.html_
and here
_http://www.boost.org/doc/html/bbv2/installation.html_
At end of step 4 of _http://www.boost.org/doc/html/bbv2/installation.html_, the problem at build remains the same:I get the same message.
Again see: http://www.boost.org/more/getting_started/index.html specific to the compiler that you are using with Code Blocks. Sorry that I can't be more helpful, but there appears to be a lack of knowledge about your compiler/IDE that could best be answered using web resources for those rather than a boost issue. Jeff Flinn
