how to use Boost.asio for the multicast sender?

I'm trying to use boost.asio to implement a multicast sender. I have a my thread implementation and I need my boost.asio only for management of the socket.

I looked at the example on the site of boost but I did not understand and I do not Compile. Where can I find what I need?

The complile errors are: (I have tried this example: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_1/doc/html/boost_asio/example/multicast/sender.cpp)

The example you have chosen to compile should build cleanly assuming you have boost installed correctly. I don't know how your development environment is setup. On my system I have boost installed in /opt/local so the headers are in /opt/local/include and the libraries to link against are in /opt/local/lib. My compile and link line looks like

stackoverflow samm$ g++ sender.cpp  -I /opt/local/include/ -L/opt/local/lib -lboost_system -Wl,-rpath,/opt/local/lib

The first error you see

Error 3 error C2653: 'asio' : is not a class or namespace name c:\Documents and Settings\GG\Desktop\sender.cpp 2

looks like you forgot to #include <boost/asio.hpp> somewhere. But I am far from a Windows development expert, so perhaps someone more knowledgeable will answer.
