[CMake] CMake's FindBoost Module Can't Detect Boost Version
I built Boost 1.72.0 while passing the "--layout=versioned" flag to b2, but when I tried to rebuild Jinja2Cpp with the newer version of Boost using CMake, it failed to generate project files and said it couldn't filesystem and system and also couldn't detect version information. Could someone please help me out with this? Thanks. -- Powered by kitware.com/cmake Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.

Could someone > please help me out with this? I recall you have been asking similar questions in the past about Jinja2Cpp. You have received number of useful suggestions [1], e.g. to use -DBoost_DEBUG=ON, and investigate detailed diagnostics, to try -DBoost_COMPILER=... and -DBoost_ARCHITECTURE hints, etc. Please, apply this knowledge. Finally, your questions are poorly formulated e.g. my crystal sphere has broken and I can't figure out what compiler, toolset, cmake version, etc. you are on. Next time, try to help people help you [2] [1] https://cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2018-October/068477.html [2] http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net -- Powered by kitware.com/cmake Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.

The options must read -DBoost_DEBUG=ON and -DBoost_COMPILER=-vc141 or vc142, depending on what b2.exe generated in names for your MSVC version. > but it seems it's only looking for up to Boost 1.71.0; the test versions go > up to there only. > Should I edit the FindBoost.cmake file to have it look for version 1.72.0 as > well? If you have read/searched the FindBoost docs page https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/FindBoost.html?highlight=version you would have learned that you can specify -DBoost_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS=1.72 > I don't know about all of the flags I need to pass, but if it can find the > Boost version then it should be able to detect all of the stuff on its own, > right? It should, but it still may need hints like Boost_COMPILER, or Boost_ARCHITECTURE. FindBoost is a Find-module. A Find-module is a ***guesser***. A guesser has right to fail to guess...no hard promises. https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake-packages.7.html "Unlike a package configuration file, it is not shipped with upstream, but is used by downstream to find the files by guessing locations of files with platform-specific hints."

Re: [CMake] CMake's FindBoost Module Can't Detect Boost Version
I tried passing -DBoost_COMPILER and -DBoost_DEBUG but it seems it's only looking for up to Boost 1.71.0; the test versions go up to there only. Should I edit the FindBoost.cmake file to have it look for version 1.72.0 as well? I'm using MSVC version 14.2, Visual Studio 2019. I'm using the Developer Command Prompt for VS2019. I don't know about all of the flags I need to pass, but if it can find the Boost version then it should be able to detect all of the stuff on its own, right? The first step there isn't going right. -- Powered by kitware.com/cmake Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.

Re: [CMake] CMake's FindBoost Module Can't Detect Boost Version
Yeah, forgot. I did specify the values for the flags on the actual thing. -DBoost_COMPILER=-vc142, -DBoost_ARCHITECTURE=-x64 and -DBoost_DEBUG=ON. I'll try specifying the version number like what you said. Thanks for that. -- Powered by kitware.com/cmake Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
