How to use Boost in Visual Studio 2010

Question

What is a good step by step explanation on how to use the Boost library in an empty project in Visual Studio?

Answer 1

What parts of Boost do you need? A lot of stuff is part of TR1 which is shipped with Visual Studio, so you could simply say, for example:

#include 

using std::tr1::shared_ptr;

According to James, this should also work (in C++0x):

#include 

using std::shared_ptr;
