title: Linking ASIO to a project without boost in Visual Studio
body: <p>I'm trying to use asio without boost for a project in visual studio.</p>
  
  <p>I've added the headers by adding <code>asio\include</code> to the <code>Additional Include Directories</code> in my project's properties.  This allows my project to see the headers, and intellisense properly finds all of the objects.  So far, so good.</p>
  
  <p>However, when I try to compile, I get errors that I can't find boost headers such as:</p>
  
  <p><code>cannot open source file "boost/date_time/posix_time/posix_time_types.hpp"  example-udpreceiver c:\Users\me\project\libs\asio-1.10.6\include\asio\deadline_timer.hpp</code></p>
  
  <p>or</p>
  
  <p><code>cannot open source file "boost/regex/v4/match_flags.hpp"   example-udpreceiver c:\Users\me\project\libs\asio-1.10.6\include\asio\detail\regex_fwd.hpp</code></p>
  
  <p>My impression is that it was possible to use asio without boost -- what do I need to do to get asio compiling with my project?</p>
  
  <p>thanks!</p>
