You need to tell it where to find the Boost includes. I suggest you first
try to get some header-only Boost library going as example, if you have
that right, you also have the include paths right.

In your second posting, you gave a link to a picture which had the exact
right dialog for setting this as system setup. You can also set the path on
a per-project base, then it's in the C++ settings.

Note that for compiled libraries like Boost.Python you will first have to
compile those (see Boost docs), put the DLLs into a place where they can be
found (e.g. the windows dir or anything else on the path) and also have to
set a path to the .LIBS in the linker settings.

As an alternative to compiling libraries separately, you can also include
the Boost sources into your project, just add BOOST_PYTHON_STATIC_LIB to
the preprocessor defines and include the following files from one(!)
translation unit:

<boost/../libs/python/src/module.cpp>
<boost/../libs/python/src/dict.cpp>
<boost/../libs/python/src/errors.cpp>
<boost/../libs/python/src/list.cpp>
<boost/../libs/python/src/object_operators.cpp>
<boost/../libs/python/src/object_protocol.cpp>
<boost/../libs/python/src/tuple.cpp>
<boost/../libs/python/src/str.cpp>
<boost/../libs/python/src/object/class.cpp>
<boost/../libs/python/src/object/function.cpp>
<boost/../libs/python/src/object/inheritance.cpp>
<boost/../libs/python/src/object/pickle_support.cpp>
<boost/../libs/python/src/converter/builtin_converters.cpp>
<boost/../libs/python/src/converter/registry.cpp>
<boost/../libs/python/src/converter/from_python.cpp>

Note: this is with Boost 1.33.1, newer versions likely differ.
