How do I add a library to my NetBeans C++ project?

Question

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.

Answer 1

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 .
