[Boost-users] Re: Newbie question... (sorry)

Hi Dave, this a sample of the example I tried to compile to see if the libs had been built and installed correctly taken from http://www.boost.org/libs/filesystem/doc/index.htm#Introduction simple_ls.cpp #include "boost/filesystem/operations.hpp" #include "boost/filesystem/path.hpp" #include <iostream> namespace fs = boost::filesystem; int main( int argc, char* argv[] ) { fs::path full_path( fs::initial_path() ); //... rest skipped for brevity return 0; } The header file it could not find was the boost/filesystem/operations.hpp, I even tried to use the angle brackets (just in case) but still no luck. I have (with a bit of calm) tried to remove all the paths from VC++ and of course it tells me that it cannot find the header (which of course is normal) but when I add "C:\boost_1_31_0" to the list of INCLUDE directories in VC++ it keeps telling me: "fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_filesystem-vc71-sgd-1_31.lib' " Can I just ask, did I skip some fundamental step in the build and installation process?

9) Copied a simple example from the boost website to test the libraries, compiled and VC doesn't find one of the header files..

Which header file?
