Code::Blocks and Boost libs.
Can anyone tell me how to set up Code::Blocks to use Boost libraries on a Windows system? I have installed and compiled the library set, and I followed the directions for global compiler-variables per the Code::Blocks web site. Yet, the compiler can never find the Boost header files. My setup is detailed below:
Boost Libs location: C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\boost_1_44_0
In the .cpp file, I tried the following:
#include <boost/regex.hpp>
#include “boost/regex.hpp”
#include <boost\regex.hpp>
#include “boost\regex.hpp”
Setup in the Global Variable Editor:
Current Variable: boostlibs (a new entry)
Builtin Fields base: C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\
Builtin Fields include: C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\boost_1_44_0
I have also tried the following:
Builtin Fields base: C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\boost_1_44_0
Builtin Fields include: C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\boost_1_44_0\libs
and
Builtin Fields base: C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\boost_1_44_0
Builtin Fields include: C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\boost_1_44_0
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You get the standard answer - read this: http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=FAQ#Q:_How_do_I_troubleshoot_an_compiler_problem.3F

Please read and also turn on Full Compiler Logging as oBFusCATed suggested.

Note: Build Boost steps is not always needed; depends on library you are using.

Thanks for the advice.
stahta01: You nailed the problem. I made a simple entry into the search directories section, and the compiler was then able to find the header files.
