Also I didn't get any errors during the building process (that's why I assume the build was succesfull), so I decided to test the libraries and just took one of the examples form the site. Compiled it and got the: "fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'boost/filesystem/operations.hpp': No such file or directory"
#include "boost/filesystem/operations.hpp" #include "boost/filesystem/path.hpp" #include <iostream> namespace fs = boost::filesystem; int main( int argc, char* argv[] ) { //removed for brevity... } I also added the path to the environmental variables in windows, under INCLUDE and LIB, but this didn't seem to change anything.
What do you mean, precisely, by "added the path to the environmental variables"? The directory above boost/filesystem/operations.hpp needs to be in your #include path. In other words, if operations.hpp is in c:/boost_1_31_0/boost/filesystem/operations.hpp Then you need to put c:/boost_1_31_0 in your #include search path. Are you compiling from the command-line or are you using an IDE? Also, we don't mind newbie questions here, but a more appropriate list might be http://www.boost.org/more/mailing_lists.htm#users Cheers, -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
