the solution is quite simple, all you need is this two steps:

1. Go to Project->Properties->Configuration Properties->C/C++->General

under Additional Include Directories add path to your boost includes

I have: D:\apps\boost\boost_1_42

2. Go to Project->Properties->Configuration Properties->Linker->General

under Additional Library Dependencies add path to your boost lib directory

I have: D:\apps\boost\boost_1_42\lib

i have compiled the example from http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/more/getting_started/windows.html and it is working w/out issues.

Hi !

I'm trying to find out how to link boost libraries under windows to a visual studio VC++ project (that will be a .dll library).

Where can I find some information ?!

I've compiled the boost libraries and followed the instruction found at:
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/more/getting_started/windows.html

but when I build the project it gives me an error trying to find a libboost_filesystem-vc80-mt-gd-1_41.lib,
but no one libraries build starts with the 'lib' prefix ?
Why he search for them ?

Thank you,

Federico
