Good call... hopefully I can help. :-) > My environment is Window 7 (32 bit), Visual C++ 2008 (version 9) (not > express version) SP1 <snip> > Set the environment variable for RDBASE to C:\SourceCode\rdkit yep > Installed boost using their recommended method of running bootstrap.bat > followed by b2.exe.

In my experience the flex and bison executables will also be found if they are in your PATH when you start cmake. > Now we move to CMake... > > Where is the source code: C:/SourceCode/rdkit > Where to build the binaries: C:/SourceCode/rdkit/build > Click Configure button and I get this... on the right track. >>>>Error message > > CMake Error at C:/Program Files/CMake > 2.8/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:1198 (message): > > Unable to find the requested Boost libraries. > > Boost version: 1.48.0 > > Boost include path: C:/SourceCode/boost_1_48_0/boost_1_48_0 > > The following Boost libraries could not be found: > > boost_python > > No Boost libraries were found.

(other than - 'move to Linux' :-) Indeed: the easy thing is to just set the variables it's having problems with directly in the cmake gui. > Actually, since I don't want the python interface, a straightforward C++ > solution will do. That will simplify things: just turn off the python bindings in cmake (the variable is RDK_BUILD_PYTHON_WRAPPERS). If you don't care about the SLN parser, you can also turn that one off so that you won't need the boost regex library either. After you've turned off the python bindings and pointed cmake to bison and flex (might work to just make sure they are in your PATH, restart cmake, clear the cache, and then configure again), things *ought* to work. Feel free to pipe back up if they don't. :-) Hope this helps, -greg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more.
