I have successfully built boost using bjam and visual studio 2010 using this command:

bjam --build-dir=c:\boost --build-type=complete --toolset=msvc-10.0 address-model=64 architecture=x86 --with-system

I have also set the stage/lib directory as the lib directory in visual studio.

However, the linker gives me this:

fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_filesystem-vc90-mt-gd-1_50.lib'

Why is it looking for 'vc90' versions of the libraries? the vc100 version is there in the directory.. how do I change that?

Thanks.

You can explicitly specify the paths to the libraries in project settings. First you need to include the library names that you want to link against in your project.

Adding libs

Now we have to specify the directories, where the libraries specified above can be found.

Specifying directories where the libraries from the previous image are

I hope, that helps.

  • Yes, I know about those... I set the directory just fine... my question was why is the autoload in boost looking for a v90 and not a v100, if I'm compiling it in vs2010... I got it to work simply renaming the compiled lib files to v90, but I'd still like to understand why it looked for the wrong file names... – Fernando Faria Aug 08 '12 at 17:52

Check the compiler setting (You have choices for vc90 (2008), vc100 (2010)) in your project's properties.
