(2) "Library directory": the link library directory under stage, for example: D:\my_workspace\C_program\C_boost\boost_1_79_0\stage\lib
(3) Optional: Configuration Properties->Linker->General: "Additional Library Directory": Same as the "Library Directory" above, for example: D:\my_workspace\C_program\C_boost\boost_1_79_0\stage\lib
3 tests
Create a new console project in VS and enter the code:
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/version.hpp>
#include <boost/config.hpp>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout<<BOOST_VERSION<<endl;
cout<<BOOST_LIB_VERSION<<endl;
cout<<BOOST_PLATFORM<<endl;
cout<<BOOST_COMPILER<<endl;
cout<<BOOST_STDLIB<<endl;
getchar();
return 0;
}operation result:
4 Install Openssl
