I configured Boost with toolset msvc and compiled/installed the Boost tree without any problems. But when I want to use Boost in my own project, it can't find the boost include directory somehow (but it does exist in the -I location). See below for output. Please help.

Sorry if that's obvious, but does either

        C:\cygwin\home\Andrej\mbrace\trunk\boost\serialization.hpp

or

Does

    C:\cygwin\usr\local\include\boost\serialization\map.hpp

exist? Strictly speaking, it's different path from the one you ls above, and
please use windows tools to check for its existance. Can you actually
cat/type its content?

Do thinks work if you create a .cpp file with

        #include <boost/serialization/map.hpp>

and compile it by hand with

        cl.exe -IC:\cygwin\usr\local\include\ <file>.cpp

?
