I want to use a library for linux in windows

I don't think that this is going to be a simple task and mostly will not be done simply because of portability issues between the two platform even when you get the source

>> I don't think that this is going to be a simple task
That depends on the code. If it's just ANSI C/C++ it'll be pretty straight forward.

Well, there's actually no need to do any conversions - bayes++ comes with a VC++ Solution (.sln), see http://bayesclasses.sourceforge.net/Bayes++.html

"Visual C++ solution

For Visual C++ 7.0/7.1/8.0 etc, you can also use the Bayes++.sln solution and the active configuration uBLAS Debug. The compiler options must be set so the Boost include files can be found. That is, the include path must contain the base directory of Boost. In this case the local boost directory. In VC7.1 you should do this by choosing the Tools/Options/Projects/VC++ Directories option.

Visual C++ 7.0 requires the use of Boost version 1_32_0. Visual C++ 7.1 (or later) requires Boost version 1_33_0 (or later)."

I've downloaded the bayes++ zip, but I did not download any boost..I have to downloaded first and then what do I do with it?

HI Jkr,

I downloaded and extracted the Boost, and I did what they said, but I got stuck
To build Bayes++ and the examples simply execute: (Bayes++ should be the current directory)

        bjam --v2 -sBOOST_ROOT="../boost_1_33_1"
Where do i write this ?

I downloaded boost_1_40_0..but I don;t know where to write that..and also..I did not see any bjam through my files.

Thank you!

>>>> To build Bayes++

Check for the Bayes.sln file jkr has told and open it using Visual Studio. If that works the only thing left is to add the boost include path and lib path to the VC directories at Tools - Options - Projects - VC++ Directories.

Note, the output of the Bayes project (defined by Bayes.sln and Bayes.vcproj) is one (or more) .lib file, probably Bayes.lib.

If you have created the .lib you need to add the path to that .lib to the library paths of your project and add the lib name to the Input modules of your linker settings. Als the path to the include directory of Bayes needs to be added either to the global include paths (same as with boost, see above) or to the project include paths (C++ settings of your project where you want to use the Bayes).

In boost I do not have any include file, so what do i add to additional libraries ?
