Re: [Boost-users] Newbie question

Also, if you are using some version of XCode, you can set that up in the IDE rather than the g++ command line. If you right click (or ctrl click) on the project icon in the Group & Files window, and go to Get Info, uner the build tab there is a line for additional header search paths. Just add things to that (also remember this for later, the next line is Library Search Paths which you will need later for some Boost functionality). -Chris David Abrahams wrote:

Hi,

I'm having some difficulty using the boost libraries in my programs (I have an iBook running Panther). My boost install passes all the regression tests. My files are all stored in the appropriate places under /usr/local. But when I try to #include <boost> libraries in my programs, the compiler doesn't seem to find them. I'm assuming that there is some very simple stupid problem with the way my computer is set up, but I don't know enough about using c++ libraries to know what to do. I'm a pretty experienced Java programmer, but I'm very new to c++. Unfortuntately I don't have anyone to ask how to solve this problem. I hope this doesn't try your patience too much, but could anybody suggest how I might get this problem fixed?

you need to put the Boost root directory in your #include path, by adding

-Ipath/to/boost/root

to your g++ command line. The boost root directory is the one containing a subdirectory called "boost," which subdirectory contains lots of .hpp files.

HTH,
