I tried using Boost regex in my cpp project. I have followed the steps listed in http://www.technical-recipes.com/2014/how-to-use-the-boost-compiled-libraries-in-windows/

Then I just wrote 

#include "boost/regex.hpp"

in my cpp file in my project. Then when I run 'make' in that directory I got the following error.

cannot open include file: 'boost/regex.hpp': No such file or directory

Note: I was not using a new solution in visual studio. I tried this in an existing solution by adding the includes and libraries in project properties (followed the instructions in the above link)

  • have you tried `#include `? – Steve Lorimer Jun 24 '16 at 15:47
  • Read [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21593/what-is-the-difference-between-include-filename-and-include-filename) for what the difference is between `#include ` and `#include "filename"` – Steve Lorimer Jun 24 '16 at 15:48
  • @SteveLorimer I have tried both. Same issue persists. The boost files and my project files are in different drives. Is that a problem ? I have added the boost include directory in the VC++ Directory general configuration. So I guess different directories won't pose an issue ? – vijin Jun 24 '16 at 16:06
