Comment (by anonymous):

 Hi, I have included the Boost libraries in VS2008 project, and used the
 following,
 #include <asio.hpp>
 but the it showed error as fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file:
 'boost/asio/basic_datagram_socket.hpp': No such file or directory. even
 though the path is a valid path and all .hpp files are present.


 Replying to [ticket:2897 dustin@…]:
 > The boost documentation claims that asio is a header-only library.
 However, it seems like it may have non-header-only dependencies. If one
 even includes the asio header, on Visual Studio 2008 Express edition you
 get the following linker error:
