Compiling Cannot include file boost.hpp - no such file or directory

[Ecstacy]

Hey,

I'm getting this weird error when I'm trying to compile this source, it keeps telling me that I don't have the boost.hhp file, but I clearly have it.
The boost.hpp file is not inside the folder of the trunk, though I don't think that is the problem since other trunks compile just fine.

error:

1>------ Build started: Project: tfs, Configuration: Release Win32 ------

#endif

// get config suffix code:
#include <boost/config/suffix.hpp>

#endif  // BOOST_CONFIG_HPP

I wonder if the problem might be that the config.hhp is not directly inside the boost folder but inside the include folder;

\tfs-sdk-1.0\boost-1.4.9\include\boost

really hope someone could help me with this!

What version of Visual C++ are you using?

 

[Ecstacy]

What version of Visual C++ are you using?

Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express

 

[xapokis]

Did you manually add the boost header files or was it automatically imported by some project file?

 

[Ecstacy]

Uhmm I didn't manually import it, I used the batch file in TFSDK, I guess that is supposed to register the library

 

[xapokis]

Ok.
Please post the link to that sdk, i need to know what exactly it did.

 

[Ecstacy]

Alright, here's the link to the SDK.

Holy s*&* AUEHAUEH, 104mb will take too long in free mode. Can't you send me only the batch file?

 

[Ecstacy]

Well the sdk contains all libraries, so that's why it's 104MB .

But this is what is inside the batch file;

setx TFSSDKDir %CD%

so it basically sets the folder you run it in as the TFSSdkDir folder.

Mmm, ok. Well i dont know how this should work (if VB can use that variable, etc) then i will tell you how to manually add the boost headers and libraries. BUT if this (the one in your pack) "mode" failed to import boost headers/libs probably it have failed to import the others...

How to install boost to work with visual studio 2010:
WATCH AFTER 3:28~
Compiling and configuring Boost C++ libraries for Visual Studio 2010 - YouTube
Note that in this video he has MANUALLY installed Boost, so the folders might be different from yours. Your "include" folder is "boost_1_45_0" from the video.

How to add boost headers:

1. Right Click on your project (the one bellow "Solution ~~~~")
2. Properties > C/C++ > General > Additional Include Directories
3. Left click on it > Click in the arrow and go <Edit...> > In the new box DOUBLE click in the upper one > Click in the "..." button
4. Here add the INCLUDE folder from boost (yours is "tfs-sdk-1.0\boost-1.4.9\include") - NOTE that should have a folder named "boost" inside "include" folder
5. Click Ok (in the Additional Include Directories), then Apply

How to add boost libraries:

1. In your Project Properties go to Linker > General > Additional Include Directories
2. Repeat the above "Step 3"
3. Here add the LIB folder from boost (i dont know where it is in this sdk pack, but should have some folder here "tfs-sdk-1.0\boost-1.4.9\" named "lib" or "libs" or "lib86" something like that)
4. Ok then Apply

I would expect a lot of errors related to other headers/libs, but who knows... You can use the same steps to add other headers/libs, just follow the same logic (headers in "include" and libs in "lib")
