Using Boost Library in MEX Function

I'm trying to use the Boost Libraries to write a multi-threaded MEX function.

Now I've already added the Boost Library files to the MATLAB PATH and the Linker Path like this:

path(oldpath, 'C:\Folder\OtherFolder\MATLAB\Files\boost\boost_1_67_0')

setenv('PATH', [getenv('PATH') ';C:\Folder\OtherFolder\MATLAB\Files\boost\boost_1_67_0\stage\lib']);

So I'm not sure what I'm missing.

MATLAB path and PATH environment variable are both ignored when searching for libraries. You need the -L option to tell it where to look for the libraries.

mex simpleBoostExample.cpp -IC:\Folder\OtherFolder\MATLAB\Files\boost\boost_1_67_0 -LC:\Folder\OtherFolder\MATLAB\Files\boost\boost_1_67_0 -lboost -lboost_thread

I might not have exactly the right libraries for your purpose.
