Hi all, I ran into a problem with FindBoost where it fails to find the correct version of a component library. The cause is pretty clear to me.
There's a system-wide (rather old) version of Boost installed and there's my latest-greatest version of Boost. The FindBoost macro searches for a library using rather specific names first and generic names last. These are all listed under NAMES. FIND_LIBRARY() tries to find each name in all paths specified under PATHS. Problem is that (for reasons I do not really know) the very specific library name is not present in my latest-greatest directory, but it IS present in /usr/lib. This problem is closely related to a post on this list a couple of months ago: http://www.mail-archive.com/cmake@cmake.org/msg24565.html Unfortunately, no-one ever replied to that post. Basically, the author of that post suggested to turn the loop in cmFindLibraryCommand::FindNormalLibrary() inside out: i.e. for(path in paths) { for(name in names) { find name in path; if found return name; } } Any thoughts on this? Best regards, Marcel Loose. _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
