I never used Boost libraries. I wish to know how I can use the library in my program. Do I need to install boost or use the binaries? What changes do I need to make in the Eclipse project and Eclipse settings? Thank you in advance
In general you will need the Boost library (.dll file) and the include files (*.h) in order to compile a C/C++ program. You can then compile your program by specifying the include path of your header file (-I dir), the include path of your libraries (-L dir) and the library itself (-lboost). You must then tell Eclipse somehow where these files reside in order to compile a Boost program in Eclipse. The Eclipse documentation should describe how to do this.
