[Insight-users] Fwd: using boost with ITK

[Mark Roden]

Hi Mike,

I'm further along, but I'm now getting this error:

The following Boost libraries could not be found:

          boost_file_system

I've followed your instructions exactly.  I'm not sure why the
filesystem libraries aren't found; they're in the stage directory.
I've tried setting the filesystem directories like so:

debug:C:/Developer/i386/boost_1_41/stage/lib/libboost_filesystem-vc90-mt-gd-1_41.lib
release: C:/Developer/i386/boost_1_41/stage/lib/libboost_filesystem-vc90-mt-1_41.lib

However, the error shows up again and the directories get reset.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
Mark
