You need to add to your IDE envir. the equivalent of the environment variable:
BOOST_ROOT=C:\Boost\include\boost-1_32
I'm not familar with msvc 7.1, but in msvc 6.0 there were two ways to accomplish
this. One has project specific, saved in the *.dsp. The other affected all
projects.
Its never a good idea to place the entire path for an include file in your cpp
file. It produces non-mantainable code. I'm not suprised it doesn't work.
Be aware that there may be a difference between system 'include <>' and local
'include ""' include files. MSVC 6.0 didn't differenciate, but it should have.
Maybe MSVC 7.1 fixes this...
In jam, you have <sysinclude> and <include> requirements that handle this.
