using boost/filesystem
TDragon:
Okay, the article is not quite right. I forgot about the "boost-1_35" subfolder in the includes directory. Will now correct it.
You can either (A) add the "boost" global variable and project search folders as per the skipped steps in the Wiki article, using "C:\CodeBlocks\include\boost-1_35" for the include field ("C:\CodeBlocks" for the base field), or (B) add "C:\CodeBlocks\include\boost-1_35" directly to your project's Compiler search directories.
Really, though, you should have been able to figure that out on your own. It's as simple as seeing that you want to include boost/regex.hpp, and seeing that the path boost/regex.hpp is in C:\CodeBlocks\include\boost-1_35.

This may or may not be normal. Hopefully the libraries you want are getting built.

Well, i first did A, and got this while compiling the project:
C:\CodeBlocks\MinGW\bin\ld.exe: cannot find -lboost_regex-mgw34-mt-1_35.lib
With option B it was the same error.
I tried googling what can cause this type of error, but no luck so far.

this error indicates that you entered "boost_regex-mgw34-mt-1_35.lib" into the linker options which is wrong. please enter "boost_regex-mgw34-mt-1_35" (notice the missing ".lib").
In addition: You are using the MinGW compiler, right? I wonder why you get ".lib" files when you compile Boost. Using MinGW you should have compiled ".a" files...?! Probably you are mixing MinGW compilation with some unsupported format (e.g. you compiled boost wit a compiler that is not compatible with MinGW)???

Nope, Boost Build causes GCC to create .lib files as of Boost 1.35.

I just tried: Indeed! ...how weired. :shock: That surely will cause some trouble. Strange they decided to do so.
The include folder also looks pretty strange include\boost\boost-1_35??? Huh? I just moved the files directly to boost and it seems to work as well.
