Hey all,
I started to code the new algorithm based on the source code of the existing algorithms. I just noticed there are some lines like:
“#include <boost/graph/graph_traits.hpp>
#include <boost/graph/adjacency_list.hpp>
#include <boost/graph/dijkstra_shortest_paths.hpp>”
What do these “.hpp” files used for? Where can I locate them?
Thanks,
Jinfu

These are part of the Boost Graph library. Boost is mostly C++ templates and the code is included via the .hpp files.
On Debian and Ubuntu systems they are installed via packages like:
libboost-graph-dev
libboost-graph1.34.1 the version number will change
# this will get the package names
apt-cache search libboost-graph
# this will install them
sudo apt-get install <packages>

You do not need any of these if you are coding your own algorithm without boost.
