Please do not top post. The -I option sets the include path. If you set it to the directory where Boost is installed on your system, then Boost header files will be found, since all Boost header files are of the form of: #include the 'boost' subdirectory ( and its subdirectories ) for each distribution is where the Boost header files reside.

Hello guys, I wanted to use boost to parse an INI file. in my code i used this includes: #include "boost/property_tree/ptree.hpp" #include "boost/property_tree/ini_parser.hpp"

when I compile my code "g++ test.cpp -o Test" with only this two includes I get an error from one of the included files:

In file included from test.cpp:15:0: boost/property_tree/ptree.hpp:15:45: fatal error: boost/property_tree/ptree_fwd.hpp: File or directory not found    #include                                                ^ compilation terminated.

This is an error in the ptree.hpp imported file. Maybe this has a quick fix but I'm kinda new to C++. I've checked and both files exist (boost/property_tree/ptree and boost/property_tree/ptree_fwd.hpp).

You need an "-Itop-level-boost-directory" parameter.
