Boost library working on Visual Studio 2015

Question

I'm having problems with "boost library" usage for Visual Studio 2015. I have Common Tools installed, followed this video instructions:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOhHMS4I9Zw

(Basically, unzip boost, in visual studio prompt, execute, boostrap.bat, b2.exe, and in visual studio project properties, in C/C++>General>Additional Include Directories, the root of boost folder, and in Linker>General>Aditional Library Directories, "boost root"/stage/lib".

But after that, using the example of boost documentation, Visual Studio is unable to search in the boost folder. If I write the include sentence with global path (C:/...), it finds it, but all other boost files have relative paths!.

So, what am I doing wrong?. What I need to do to get Visual Studio working with boost library?

Answer 1

Yes, make sure you select 'All Configurations' in the 'Configuration' combo box when the project properties window shows up. That will apply the settings for the 'Include Directories' to all config.
