Same issue over here. What I did was to check in the headers and the compiled library files (*.lib) so that it's part of the source tree of the respective project. Yes, takes a lot of diskspace... But that's what we have plenty of, so I didn't care. My project trees with M$ VS usually looks something like this: / /libs /libs/boost-x.xx/ /libs/boost-x.xx/boost -> header files /libs/boost-x.xx/libs -> binaries /libs/whatever... /appname /appname/.... To make life easier, for every boost release I check in a built of boost (not of all libraries (i.e. I don't need graph and so on...)) to a specific place in our SCM repo from where you can simply branch the boost version you want for your project to your project tree. Just in case you're wondering, I'm building boost using VS2008. Hope, I could make myself somewhat clear. Regards, Andreas On 07/17/2013 08:19 AM, Georg.Kellerer@lfu.bayern.de wrote:

Hi,

we're using boost inour projects and all works fine. Our projects are standing under version control in a subversion repository. Our problem is that every developper had installed boost in a diferent place. Is their a way to get the reference to boost in a user speciffic configuration place? At the moment we have a fix path c:\dev\boost... but that does not fit for every developpers machine.

Thanks for help, Georg

Create an environment variable on each developer machine: BOOSTDIR="c:\dev\boost\...". Then reference this from "Common Properties | C/C++ | General | Additional Include Directories" by adding $(BOOSTDIR) and "Common Properties | Linker | General | Additional Library Dependencies" by adding $(BOOSTDIR)\lib. Don't forget to specify these for both debug and release configurations. If you have a shared property sheet you can add the above there and have these settings applied to all projects that use the propertysheet. Jeff

Prepare a property file (boost.props) looking like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Project DefaultTargets="Build" ToolsVersion="4.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003"> <PropertyGroup> <IncludePath>$(IncludePath);$(BOOST_ROOT_PATH)</IncludePath> <LibraryPath Condition="'$(Platform)'=='Win32'">$(LibraryPath);$(BOOST_ROOT_PATH)\stage\lib</LibraryPath> <LibraryPath Condition="'$(Platform)'=='x64'">$(LibraryPath);$(BOOST_ROOT_PATH)\stage64\lib</LibraryPath> </PropertyGroup> </Project> then include it into the project file (vcxproj) <ImportGroup Label="PropertySheets"> <Import Project="$(SolutionDir)boost.props" Condition="exists('$(SolutionDir)boost.props')" /> </ImportGroup> each developer will have to set his own value for environment variable BOOST_ROOT_PATH
