QuantLib installation fatal error C1083 boost/config.hpp & boost/test/unit_test.hpp

Question

I know this issue has been discussed here before. But after I followed the suggestions and added the paths via Visual Studio, I'm still stuck:

In VS, I have: Additional Include Directories: C:\local\boost_1_58_0 Additional Library Directories: C:\local\boost_1_58_0\libs

When I built QuantLib within VS, I could see C:\local\boost_1_58_0 is among the included paths. I can also see the valid config.hpp file in C:\local\boost_1_58_0\boost and unit_test.hpp in C:\local\boost_1_58_0\boost\test. Nevertheless I still got the C1083 error.

Have been stuck for 2+ days, I'm puzzled how to get around this. Any advice?

Thanks much in advance!

What version of Visual Studio are you using? – Luigi Ballabio Mar 28 '17 at 22:08 — Luigi Ballabio, Mar 28 '17 at 22:08

Follow the official instructions at http://quantlib.org/install/vc10.shtml. In VS 10 and beyond, include and library paths are set through the Property Manager. Steps 5 and 6 in the instructions linked above describe the procedure. You might want to exit and restart the IDE to make sure that the changes are saved.

Thanks much, Luigi. Yes, setting through the Property Manager works, not through the Project menu. – Jasper C. Mar 29 '17 at 16:51

For anyone else looking for the location of Property Manager and using VS2015 - I found it on the fourth tab at the bottom of the Solution Explorer pane, please see image attached. enter image description here
