[Boost-users] How to use Boost libs from projects?

[Andy]

I have project compiled as Debug,x64.
And boost 1.63 compiled by:
- bootstrap.bat
- b2 variant=debug,release link=static runtime-link=static address-model=64
In project I have cpp files with #include "boost/filesystem.hpp"
and when compile project I have error:
cannot open file 'libboost_filesystem-vc140-mt-gd-1_61.lib'
whereas in c:\boost\stage\lib\ I
have libboost_filesystem-vc140-mt-sgd-1_63.lib but not
libboost_filesystem-vc140-mt-gd-1_61.lib and in VS2015 project I have no
Boost lib.

(sorry for my English)

You probably have an include path pointing to version 1.61 of boost
somewhere in your project.

you might have added the path to 1.63 after the path to 1.61.

Where I can change it? I have deleted BlockNew.VC.db
BlockNew.vcxproj :
<PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)'=='Debug|x64'">
<LinkIncremental>true</LinkIncremental>
<IncludePath>bitdev;c:\boost;c:\Program Files\MySQL\Connector.C++
1.1\include;$(VC_IncludePath);$(WindowsSDK_IncludePath);</IncludePath>
<LibraryPath>c:\boost\stage\lib;c:\Program Files\MySQL\Connector.C++
1.1\lib\opt;$(VC_LibraryPath_x64);$(WindowsSDK_LibraryPath_x64);$(NETFXKitsDir)Lib\um\x64</LibraryPath>
</PropertyGroup>

I'm not familiar enough with visual studio. but looking at your include
path you have :
c:\boost are you sure it's the version you want ?
then you have $(VC_IncludePath), what is it ? it can expand too many
directories.

I don't know how Vsiaul Studio makes name libboost_filesystem-vc140-mt-
gd-1_61.lib

Looks to me like you have Boost-1.61 in your include path, and not your
new 1.63 install.

After deleting obj files:
cannot open file libboost_filesystem-vc140-mt-gd-1_63.lib
whereas is file libboost_filesystem-vc140-mt-sgd-1_63.lib

Is 64-bit lib and wants 32-bit lib?
or "s" means "static"?

Yes, like in static c-runtime-library (crt) linkage (it's not about whether
the boost libs themselves are dll's or lib's!)... i.e. You'll need to build
your app /MT(d), not /MD(d), or (re-)compile boost linked to the dynamic
crt. Your app will (in principle) need to have the same (type of) linkage
to the crt as the libs you are linking to.

Happy new-year,

Thanks, how to recompile boost linked to the dynamic crt?
b2 variant=debug,release link=dynamic runtime-link=dynamic address-model=64
?

model=64?

Yes, AFAIK, "runtime-link=dynamic" is the way to do it.

b2 variant=debug,release runtime-link=shared address-model=64

Yeah, sorry for that (still hung over a bit), always compile
runtime-link=static myself. It works now, does it?

Now is OK, Thanks.

Great! Sorry for the noise.
