Boost linking, Visual Studio & version control

Question

I\'m using Visual Studio 2008, and writing some stuff in C++. I\'m using a Boost library (that is not header only).

So, linking to Boost requires one to add

Answer 1

Adding the Boost paths to "Visual C++ Directories" should work. You should add include path \boost_1_39_0 (no boost at the end)
and library path \boost_1_39_0\bin.v2\lib (bin.v2 is a stage dir that could be different in you case).

Personally, I store boost sources in my source control and use relative paths in project settings.
