Hi Kirk Joppy,

I didn't use pkg-config.
I didn't copy any header or library files of boost.
I specified those paths on the IDE, code::blocks.

As you might know my process is documented on my wiki.

https://github.com/Journeyer/wxboost/wiki/QnA

I believe using code::blocks is not a recommended way.
I also wanted to know how I can make compiler automatically find the paths
of header files and libraries using pkg-config on Windows and even Linux
also.

Thanks
Journeyer
