I have VC 10 and using boost 1.53.0.
I am trying to compile and link a sample program from boost serialization samples, but the linker generates the following error:

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_serialization-vc100-mt-gd-1_53.lib".

I tried many things, like checking my include and lib paths, all was correct. In fact this file name which the linker was asking is not there even in the whole c drive where both MS VC 10 and boost are installed.

Thank you.

    Does `libboost_serialization-vc100-mt-gd-1_53.lib` exist? Or probably `boost_serialization-vc100-mt-gd-1_53.lib`? – Alexander Shukaev May 05 '13 at 16:51
  • No it does not exist on my computer. Infact I have tried locating it on the web but zero results. – Nasir May 05 '13 at 16:52
  • Read this -http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_1/more/getting_started/windows.html#header-only-libraries. Means you have to build this lib or to find it on the web. – SChepurin May 05 '13 at 16:54
  • I also did a search for boost_serialization-vc100-mt-gd-1_53.lib but nothing came up. however earlier versions of this file are available such as libboost_serialization-vc80-mt-gd-1_43.lib. – Nasir May 05 '13 at 16:58
  • Latest versions of almost everything (GCC, Boost, etc) are to be built by yourself. – SChepurin May 05 '13 at 17:09
  • Thanks to everybody. I built the boost and got the library, its working great. – Nasir May 06 '13 at 00:41
