I am trying to add boost 1_64 (boost 1_65 will also work) to my Visual Studio 2017 project which includes boost/array.hpp and boost/asio.hpp and used various methods of the same.
I have used the following method https://studiofreya.com/2017/04/23/building-boost-1-64-with-visual-studio-2017/ but I am getting error: cannot open source file "boost/array.hpp" and cannot open source file "boost/asio.hpp" and other errors on the methods of boost.
The error implies that you haven't added boost
to the VC++ Directories
.
To add them:
Open the Property Manager
from the View
-> Other Windows
menu.
Click on the project and navigate down to Microsoft.Cpp.x64.user
.
Right click and select Properties
.
Open Common Properties
and select VC++ Directories
Add the directory where you installed boost
to Include Directories
Add the directory where you builtboost
libraries to Library Directories
Also see Boost Getting Started on Windows in case you get stuck elsewhere.
