System: WinXP/ VS 2008 Express / CMake 2.6.2 / Boost 1.36.0 from BoostPro
Not sure what the intended behavior is here BUT I have ONLY installed
static libraries on WinXP for Boost. When I run CMake using the
following to find boost:
SET (Boost_FIND_REQUIRED TRUE)
SET (Boost_FIND_QUIETLY FALSE)
#SET (Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS TRUE)
FIND_PACKAGE(Boost 1.36 COMPONENTS program_options system filesystem)
none of the libraries are found.
If I uncomment the SET (Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS TRUE) line then the
libraries are found.
Digging into the FindBoost.cmake module I see the following:
# Support preference of static libs by adjusting
CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_SUFFIXES
IF( Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS )
SET( _boost_ORIG_CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_SUFFIXES
${CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_SUFFIXES})
IF(WIN32)
SET(CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_SUFFIXES .lib .a
${CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_SUFFIXES})
ELSE(WIN32)
SET(CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_SUFFIXES .a ${CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_SUFFIXES})
ENDIF(WIN32)
ENDIF( Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS )
I thought that the Find_Library() command would find either static or
dynamic all by itself without me having to force one or the other.
This doesn't seem "Correct" to me as I now have to _force_ my users to
install a static only boost library?
Something doesn't add up with this. Anyone want to offer an explanation?
