Re: How do I use Boost with the Visual Studio IDE?

I had no problem with this.

I added the boost directory structure to my Visual Studio paths 
(Tools/Options/Directories/Include & Library) and added boost_thread.lib 
to the project settings (Project/Settings/Link/Input).

Since I'm not debugging boost, I use only the release libraries (the 
VERY long path of which is: 
D:\boost\boost_1_30_0\libs\thread\build\bin\boost_thread.dll\msvc\release\runtime-link-dynamic\threading-multi

I don't see any reason you couldn't put the whole mess in the project 
settings, but my habit is to use the VisualStudio paths (it's not a good 
habit, it makes rolling back the development environment to build 
previous versions really hard - the paths are in the registry, not the 
project which is in CVS).

Good luck,
  - Mark
