It didn't work!
I followed the directions to the letter. Is it a bug with VS.NET 2005 beta? Here's the message I got:

Open VS.NET
From the "Tools" menu, select "Options" In the tree to the left, open "Projects & Solutions" and select VC++ Directories From the drop down list labelled "Show directories for:" select "Include files" Add the boost root directory (wherever you decompressed the boost installation) to that list.

I downloaded the executable from sourceforge, but I'm at a loss how to get the libraries to be recognized by VS.NET. I googled but nothing
works turned up. I'm desperate to try and play with the boost
documentation that libraries
and
am
eager to get started with them. Can someone describe it step by step command by command?
I'm on Win2k Pro.
Thanks in advance.

I had noticed that my attempts to put the boost headers into the include path caused very high CPU usage for extended times. Microsoft claims to have fixed the problem, but can't get to the solution yet! http://tinyurl.com/8zpcl -shishir On 6/24/05, Brian Braatz <brianb@rmtg.com> wrote:

Lets say you have downloaded boost to the dir:
C:\boost
now if you CD into that dir- you will get something like the following files:
06/10/2005 10:50 AM <DIR> . 06/10/2005 10:50 AM <DIR> .. 05/26/2005 01:48 AM <DIR> bin 06/16/2005 02:27 PM <DIR> boost 02/04/2005 04:09 PM 499 boost-build.jam 02/04/2005 04:09 PM 675 boost.css 02/04/2005 04:09 PM 6,897 boost.png 02/21/2005 11:10 AM <DIR> CVS 02/18/2005 03:46 PM <DIR> doc 02/04/2005 04:09 PM 3,558 google_logo_40wht.png 02/04/2005 04:09 PM 49,603 index.htm 02/04/2005 04:09 PM 9,406 Jamfile 02/04/2005 04:09 PM 882 Jamfile.v2 02/04/2005 04:09 PM 450 Jamrules 05/26/2005 01:04 AM <DIR> libs 02/04/2005 04:09 PM 1,361 LICENSE_1_0.txt 02/18/2005 03:47 PM <DIR> more 02/18/2005 03:47 PM <DIR> people (abbreviated)
Now using my example dirs- some important dirs to be aware of:
C:\boost\boost - the libraries themselves are here C:\boost\libs - look here for the documentation (html) files for a given library
since the libs are in c:\boost you need to do the following:
visual studio- (menu) view-solution explorer
then in the solution explorer, right click on the project name select "Properties" from the menu
click on the "C\C++" select on the left click on the "General" item below this
on the right you will see "Additional Include Directories" type in (in our case above) C:\boost
the cute thing about this is (recall there is a boost dir below C:\boost) you can now do a #include with the sub dir of boost in the string
i.e.
#include <boost/smart_ptr.hpp>
You can TEST if the "Additional Included Directories" setting is CORRECT- by doing the following:
(set the setting as described above)
move your cursor over
#include <boost/smart_ptr.hpp>
right click- on that menu select "Open Document <boost/smart_ptr.hpp>"
IF that succeeds, then you have setup the #include directories correctly- if not then you put the wrong value in "Additional Included Directories"
HOPE THAT HELPS
Brian :)
