The issue is now resolved.

The problem occurred because I only added boost/atomic and boost/detail subdirectories in my include path. Once I included the entire boost directory, this error went away.

I was trying to get a subset of hpp files just for using the atomic library (trying to avoid copying unwanted 3p library headers that I don't need). But from reading documentation about header-only libraries, looks like I have to copy the entire boost directory.

Please close this ticket.

Boost.Atomic is not header-only, although most of the time you don't have to link with it. You can see the headers that comprise the library on GitHub, you will need all these files to use the library, along with dependencies.
