I'm trying to get c++ netlib 0.11.0 working with Visual Studio 2013, and I'm having quite a difficult time. I placed the netlib main folder in my visual studio folder, and I set the include directory properly. You can see this clearly in the following image:

The documentation / examples for c++ netlib tell me that to get started, I need to include 

#include <boost/network/protocol/http/client.hpp>

but when I do this, my compiler can't find anything as shown below:

Am I supposed to merge the contents of the cpp netlib with the boost library? I've tried to do that as well but I get a whole other list of problems. I have no idea how to get this working, anyone have any ideas?

  • You have to tell the compiler where you copied Boost. Project + Properties, C/C++, General, Additional Include Directories setting. Practice with a "Hello Boost" program. – Hans Passant Jan 30 '14 at 15:20
  • Intellisense errors aren't always accurate, try disabling Intellisense errors then compile the program. – Mark Ingram Jan 30 '14 at 15:32
  • @MarkIngram I did that and I still get the LNK1117 error. And ideas? I've added the library directory to the vs properties page as well. – xcdemon05 Jan 30 '14 at 15:50

Simply install the latest release of Boost and make sure the project's include and library paths are set to include where you installed (and compiled) Boost.

    It's saying your linker settings are messed up. Ignore the Intellisense warnings, just focus on compiling/linking errors. – Blindy Jan 30 '14 at 15:24
