However, the following is a simple test program:

  #include <iostream>

  using namespace std;

      for (int N1 = 0; N1 < 4; N1++) {
        for (int N2 = 0; N2 < 3; N2++) {
          f[N0][N1][N2] = 100*N2 + 10*N1 + N0;
          cout << "  " << f[N0][N1][N2];
        }
        cout << endl;
      }
    }
    return 0;
  }

results in numerous compile errors, mostly ambiguous overloaded function accesses and denied access problems. For comparison, it compiles and runs perfectly using Cygwin/g++.


It sounds like either a boost configuration error, or perhaps an access error in your project's paths. Make sure your boost path is in your system paths, and uncheck "Source relative includes".

You were mostly right. The only way that I could get it to compile was to uncheck both the "Source relative includes" and the "Always Search User Paths". If either were selected, there were errors generated, no matter where I placed the Boost directory: project directory, arbitrary directory, or even in the Codewarror directory.

Somehow, I suspect that the problem is related to the rather strange layout of the nested structure Boost directories and the way they refer to each other.

Are you aware of a preferred place to store the Boost files so that I can use the "Source relative includes" and the "Always Search User Paths" options? I know that I have needed them in the past.
