compiling error using Boost with VC++ 6
Hi,
First a confession: I am new to VC++ AND to BOOST...I thought the best way
to learn both was to dive right in...and now I'm looking for a life-guard!
OK, so here's the problem: I have installed the Boost Library in its
default location (C:/Boost... ).
When I try to compile the code random_demo.cpp (link to the code:
http://www.boost.org/libs/random/random_demo.cpp), I get the following
error:
"fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file:
'boost/random/linear_congruential.hpp': No such file or directory
Error executing cl.exe."
Clicking on the error leads me to the following source of error in the code:
#include

what version of boost (the latest is 1.32)? and get a newer compiler 6 was released before the standard for C++ was even approved!!!

I have added the root Boost directory to the directory path: (tools>options>directories > I added C:\Boost there for "include files") So I am not sure why the compiler can't locate the file.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, samvit

Yes, it's the latest version of boost (1.32). I don't have access to VC7 as the firm for which I am interning doesn't have that. So I just have to make do with VC6.

You don't need the newer compiler.
Try the following
1) Open the VC6 ide. Toolbar tools->options-> Select the
directories tab and add the path C:\BOOST\BOOST_1_32_0 to
your directory structure. (This will slow down your
compile times because the compiler will have a large
amount of directories to parse to find include file.
This assumes you have the 1_32_0 installed if you have a
higher version adjust your directory accordingly
Best of Luck

I'm not going to be any help, I no longer (for 2 years now) don't have access to vc6 but you MAY want to put: C:\Boost\include\boost-1_32 in your "include directory" path instead of simply c:\boost
