title: use Boost on VS Code
body: <p>g++ can't find boost/regex.hpp using this task:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
              "taskName": "C4B", // Compile for debug with boost
              "command": "g++",
              "args": [
                  "-g","${fileBasename}""-o","${fileBasenameNoExtension}"
              ],
              "type": "shell"
          },
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I tried also using this arg: <code>"-IC:\\boost\\include\\boost-1_64\\boost"</code> </p>
  
  <p>g++ is installed throug MinGW and i added the bin to PATH enviroment variable</p>
  
  <p>I always used Visual Studio IDE...i'm new to command line stuff</p>
  
  <p>This is how I include path on VS Code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    "includePath": [
                      "C:\\MinGW\\lib\\gcc\\mingw32\\5.3.0\\include\\c++",
                      "C:\\boost\\include\\boost-1_64\\boost"
  
                  ],
      "browse": {
                  "path": [
                      "C:\\MinGW\\lib\\gcc\\mingw32\\5.3.0\\include\\c++",
                      "C:\\boost\\include\\boost-1_64\\boost"
  
                  ],
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Before this I included only <code>C:\\boost\\include</code></p>
  
  <p>And this is the error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>test1.cpp:1:27: fatal error: boost/regex.hpp: No such file or directory
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>compilation terminated.
  How i can resolve this?</p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>UPDATE 1:</p>
  
  <p>So i included both include and lib folder:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"includePath": [
                  "C:\\MinGW\\lib\\gcc\\mingw32\\5.3.0\\include\\c++",
                  "C:\\boost\\include",
                  "C:\\boost\\lib"
  
              ],
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and my compilation task is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
              "taskName": "C4B", // Compile for debug with boost
              "command": "g++",
              "args": [
                  "-g","${fileBasename}","-IC:\\boost\\include\\boost-1_64","-o","${fileBasenameNoExtension}"
              ],
              "type": "shell"
          }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>now i have this output:</p>
