Hi everyone, I am using CMake to build some code cross-platform. This code requires Boost Thread to compile. I am having several problems with FindBoost on Windows.
First, I installed Boost using BoostPro's precompiled binaries at http://www.boostpro.com/download. Then I tried the following CMakeLists.txt file: ---------- # Simple CMake build file for testing FindBoost. Fails on Windows with # Boost binaries from BoostPro computing (http://www.boostpro.com/). cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6) project(boostFail1) message(STATUS "-- Boost:") set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS OFF) set(Boost_USE_MULTITHREAD ON) find_package(Boost COMPONENTS thread REQUIRED) message(STATUS "Boost_INCLUDE_DIR : ${Boost_INCLUDE_DIR}") message(STATUS "Boost_THREAD_LIBRARY : ${Boost_THREAD_LIBRARY}") ---------- The error message I see is: ---------- -- Boost: CMake Error at C:/Program Files/CMake 2.6/share/cmake-2.6/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:868 (message): Unable to find the requested Boost libraries. Boost version: 1.38.0 Boost include path: C:/Program Files/boost/boost_1_38 The following Boost libraries could not be found: boost_thread No Boost libraries were found. You may need to set Boost_LIBRARYDIR to the directory containing Boost libraries or BOOST_ROOT to the location of Boost. Call Stack (most recent call first): CMakeLists.txt:16 (find_package) Boost_INCLUDE_DIR : C:/Program Files/boost/boost_1_38 Boost_THREAD_LIBRARY : Boost_THREAD_LIBRARY-NOTFOUND ---------- The problem does not occur on Linux or Mac OS X. I can work around the problem by calling find_package(Boost) with no arguments, setting BOOST_ROOT accordingly, and then calling "find_package(Boost COMPONENTS thread REQUIRED)" but it seems odd to need to do that. Any thoughts? A full, working CMakeLists.txt for my project can be seen at: https://skyking.microscopy.wisc.edu/svn/java/trunk/components/native/bf-cpp/CMakeLists.txt Over half of the lines of code are specifically for dealing with Boost, particularly on Windows; it would be nice to trim down the configuration a bit. Thanks, Curtis
