How do I get boost to work with vs.net 2005 ?
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 that works turned up. I'm desperate to try and play with the boost 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. _________________________________________________________________ On the road to retirement?

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.

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: Cannot open include file: 'boost\smart_ptr.h': No such file or directory Here is my code: #include "stdafx.h" #include "x.h" #include <boost\smart_ptr.h> int main() { x& p = *new x; delete &p; return 0; } Please help... I'm desperate to try Boost. Looked at the documentation and I'm drooling to play with it.

Now that's silly. When did ".h" stop being good enough!? Well it did compile so I can't complain too hard...but why change it to hpp? I can understand modern C++ has benefits over the older like that when memory allocation fails it throws a bad_alloc, but changing things like "h" to "hpp" is just changing for the sake of change. _________________________________________________________________ Dont just search.

Without looking at the content... How would you tell the difference between a C language header and C++ language header? I'm not trying to start some language or naming war... Just pointing out the obvious reasoning.

Can your search tools tell? being able to wildcard with *.[ch]pp (or just *pp as I normally do) can be a real advantage when you want to search through the C++ source in your project. That was the rationale that Nico Jossuttis gave when Boost was started in 1998 and we have stuck with it ever since. Just so you know, this isn't a Boost thing. The convention is in common use in the C++ community. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
