Re: [Boost-users] compiling error using Boost with VC++ 6
Hi,
I am not sure if this is of any use to you but you can get the free version of the microsoft compiler and linker of Visual C++ 2003. This is exactly the same as the version shipped with the shrink wrapped product.
Check this link out: http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/
Note: Read the EULA first I dont know what restrictions they put on the toolkit.
Also this does not come with an IDE but there are various free IDE's out there that you could setup to use the Microsoft compiler.
Hope this helps.
Peter.

Yes, it's the latest version of boost (1.32). I don't have access to VC7
as the firm for which I am interning doesn't have that. So I just have to
make do with VC6.

Hi,
First a confession: I am new to VC++ AND to BOOST...I thought the best
way
to learn both was to dive right in...and now I'm looking for a
life-guard!
what version of boost (the latest is 1.32)?
and get a newer compiler 6 was released before the standard for C++ was
even approved!!!
OK, so here's the problem: I have installed the Boost Library in its
default location (C:/Boost... ).
When I try to compile the code random_demo.cpp (link to the code:
http://www.boost.org/libs/random/random_demo.cpp), I get the following
error:
"fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file:
'boost/random/linear_congruential.hpp': No such file or directory
Error executing cl.exe."
Clicking on the error leads me to the following source of error in the
code:
#include
I have added the root Boost directory to the directory path:
(tools>options>directories > I added C:\Boost there for "include files")
So I am not sure why the compiler can't locate the file.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
samvit
