You first need to build the libboost-system library on platform you are working as it does not exist in pre-build.

Please have a look at link for various options needed to build any particular boost lib on your platform,
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_1/more/getting_started/windows.html


Also, below article on building boost by Visual Studio,

I hope it helps !

Thanks,

Hey Boost!

I plan on using Boost for the first time for our school project during our third year. I am using Visual Studio 2010 (windows) as the only member in the project to use Boost with. I added the root of the boost folder as additional include directory which turns out to be the correct way for the includes to work.

But when i build i get the following error.

1>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_system-vc100-mt-gd-1_49.lib'

I searched thoroughly on google but i did not know what to do with the information...

Kind Regards.

Erwin
