boost for dummies question here:
When I use boost with VC 7.1, if I link to a lib, I have to include the header, get the compiler error, copy the enormous name of the lib onto the clipboard, then search in c:\boost_1_33_1\bin for that lib. Then I select the properties of that file, copy the enormous directory name, then open the visual studio project, and add the enormous directory name to the list of directories in which to look for libs. Repeat for each lib linked to.
I tried adding e:\boost_1_33_1\bin\boost\libs, e:\boost_1_33_1\bin\boost, e:\boost_1_33_1\bin e:\boost_1_33_1 as lib directories. That didn't help.
Is there a less process with fewer manual steps?
yeah, vc7.1 does "autolink" all you have to do is include the header. not sure why you're getting errors unless you haven't told it WHERE the library files are
Thanks,
Andy
