How to add compiler include paths and linker library paths for newly installed Boost?

Question

I have RHEL 5.2, with Boost 1.33 installed. I downloaded boost_1_44_0.tar.bz2. and built it. On completion it showed:

The Boost C++ Libraries were successful         


        

Answer 1

You have to include these directories into makefile which you would use to build your application

CC -I/home/dfe/Archive/boost_1_44_0 -L/home/dfe/Archive/boost_1_44_0/stage/lib yourprogram.cpp

-I option Adds dir to the list of directories that are searched for #include files.

-L option adds dir to the list of directories searched for libraries by linker

CC is sun compiler...
