'boost/iostreams/device/file_descriptor.hpp' file not found ERROR

Question

I'm trying to call gnuplot from C++ and I've included the gnuplot-iostream.h library and the boost/iostreams/device/file_descriptor.hpp library in the same directory as my source code, but I still get the error that the directory is not found. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Are you using the correct include delimiters?

#include <boost/iostreams/device/file_descriptor.hpp>

will search the specified library search paths (including the compiler implicits).

#include "boost/iostreams/device/file_descriptor.hpp"

will search relative to the current translation unit too.

---

If this was the cause, you could

• change the delimiter style (recommended)
• add "." to the library include paths
