Boost C++ 2. libxml 3. stxxl 3:END_DEPENDENCIES 3:NOTES[notes on attempted build] Linking to boost library not working, can't build without finding that. Have path to boost lib in include path I noticed after reviewing website (http://jhellings.nl/projects/exbisim/) I found I was using Visual Studio 2013 instead of Visual Studio 2010. When switching versions here is what I did. Downloaded and linked the following libraries (linking include folder) libxml2-2.7.8 pthreads-win32 - prebuilt-dll-1-11-0-release stxxl-1.3.1 boost - version 1.46.1 When all of these are linked and I try to build a version in VS 2010 I get the following errors (Along with others but these seem to be causing the others): Error 1 error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'iconv.h': No such file or directory C:\Temp\libxml2-2.7.8\include\libxml\encoding.h 28 1 exbisim Error 3 error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'sys/time.h': No such file or directory C:\Temp\stxxl-1.3.1\include\stxxl\bits\common\timer.h 23 1 exbisim Since stxxl-1.3.1 is looking for sys/time.h, I can assume they used this on an unix system, but am unable to get VS 2010 working on Unix When adding the Preprocessors definitions it stopped given these errors and are now givening the following errors: Error 1 error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'iconv_in' C:\Temp\libxml2-2.7.8\include\libxml\encoding.h 146 1 exbisim Error 2 error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int C:\Temp\libxml2-2.7.8\include\libxml\encoding.h 146 1 exbisim These errors show up many times in the error log Finding a readme file in the 3rd party dir that had more details on how to install the other libraries I tried following these instructions. I was able to get boost and stxxl to work without too much trouble, however libxml was giving me trouble. Not only would the instructions in the readme.pdf file fail, the instructions in the readme file given with libxml2 also fails giving the error code: >>> nmake /f Makefile.msvc NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin\cl.exe"' : return code '0xc00001 35' When looking up the error I found this documentation but it doesn't lead to any useful debugging help http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dt309377.aspx 3:END_NOTES
