I want to use the boost library in order to use some of its functions but I don't know how to do so and cannot seem to find an answer.
I'm currently using NetBeans 8.0.1 ,any help is appreciated.
You have to add two things:
(a) Library header
Go to …
Project Properties -> C++ Compiler -> Include Directories
add the header's directory path there.
(b) Library binaries
Go to …
Project Properties -> Linker -> Additional Libraries Directory
and add the directory path- that's where your library binaries are.
Next add your library at:
Libraries.

I am doing a remote C++ build from VS2019 to a machine with Centos. When I input the library to the option additional dependencies, the vs2019 always shows g++ : error : libTest.a: No such file or directory , the file libTest.a is a library I wrote to test my solution.
You should properly configure you VSLinux environment.
First, add additional include directory on Properties -> C/C++ -> General -> Additional include directory. Add paths of directories for additional header files for your library.
Second, add additional library directory on Properties -> Linker -> General -> Additional library directory. Add directories where your static/shared libraries are.
Third, put your name of libraries on Properties -> Linker -> Input -> Library dependency. Add the name of your library. Remember, you should remove prefix lib and the extension of the library.
The exact name of the option may differ since I'm not using VS2019 in English.
I am trying to add a library to C/C++ project in Eclipse by the following procedure:
Properties->C/C++General->includes (within includes specifying the folder in which the library is kept).
Properties->C/C++General->Library Paths (Specifying the library paths of .so and .a files)
Properties->C/C++General->Libraries (Specifying adding paths of .so and .a files)
But when I build the project,it is not able to find the path of header files that I am including in my project.
Can someone please tell me where the error is?
A similar question was posted here. You need to add the libraries in the Properties -> C/C++ -> Build area, not the General area.
Hope this helps.
I'm not sure about this location.
In Properties > Linker > General > Additional Dependencies
I have to include some library in Additional Library Directories, haven't I?
or I have to install some program in my computer?
The problem is I can't to use luaL_dofile, but I can use it before my computer was formatted.
That's why I'm not sure about library. I compile and run my code after my
computer was formatted suddenly. I'm pretty sure that my code has no problems
because it can run before my computer was formatted.
Well, then, obtain the library from where you get it. Place it in some place that you know it will not be moved (or install it if an installer is provided), and do this:
Select menu item Project -> Properties -> Configuration Properties -> Linker ->Input.
Now add the name of the library in the "Additional Dependencies" edit control.
You need to do two things:
Add the library directory to Libraries directory
Add the library name (without path, but with extension) to Linker->Input->Additional Dependencies
I'm trying to use the readline library in my c++ project using netbeans, so I've installed libreadline6-dev and add it to my project Properties -> Linker -> Additional Library directories -> and add (usr/include/readline).
But while compiling I get this error : undefined reference to 'readline'.
I found that I need to add also -lreadline to somewhere, but I have no idea where to put it.
Any ideas.
Thanks
You are on the good way, the problem you got is about the linker.
You have to specify the library(readline) here:
Project properties -> Build -> Linker -> Libraries.
and you also need to specify the path of the library:
Properties -> Linker -> Additional Library directories
But, like nos said, it is not the include directory.The include directory is the headers of the library(.h).
The linker needs a file with the extension .a on UNIX, it should be under a lib directory (ex: /usr/lib depends on where the library is installed).
If it is not working be sure that the file [library_directory]/libreadline.a exists
You also need to link ncurses with your project because readline uses it.
I'm going to get a book that uses Xerces C++. I'm currently using VS 2010 ultimate, so the program doesn't miss any features. I've downloaded the precompiled binaries for windows x86 VC10. My question is what do I have to do to my environmental variables and files to be able to have Visual studio import the header files i.e. #include . I have no experience linking external libraries, so I need a simple explanation.
Right click on your project -> Properties -> C/C++ -> General -> Additional Include Directories
Include the path of Xerces include files.
For Lib Properties Linker -> General -> Additional Library Directories
Include the path of Xerces lib files.
In Linker -> General -> Input -> Additional dependencies
Add the libs required for linking.
