I am not able to compile Boost libraries through command line (gcc compiler on Windows). It is giving the error: fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'boost/config.hpp': No such file or directory I searched on the net and found this is a common problem and should get solved by adding the path for Boost libraries to the include environment variable. But it is not happening. My observation is that its not identifying the path correctly. If I change the path manually (changing it to ‘”config.hpp” instead of ), it proceeds with compilation. But that is not desired and practical. Can someone help me solving this problem? Thanks in advance.
