hi there > Also, does adding -DBoost_NO_BOOST_CMAKE=ON help or change things?
ah-ah! that makes the errors go away (I would have never been able to sort this out by myself!) and now the build is running nicely with -lboost_system -lboost_iostreams -lboost_regex links properly spelled. So, if I understand correctly the documentation about this Boost_NO_BOOST_CMAKE variable, my problem might be related to the use of boost's own BoostConfig.cmake file, or to the interaction between the cmake machineries of rdkit and boost. (Out of curiosity, do you reproduce the errors with the scriptlett I enclosed?) Might this issue be in some way related to this entry in ReleaseNotes.md? ----8<---- # Release_2018.09.1 (Changes relative to Release_2018.03.1) [...] - Stop using the cmake Boost:: targets (github pull #1858 from greglandrum) ---->8---- However, I cannot find any reported problem in my notes about installation of rdkit-2018.09.1, so... So, thank you very much indeed! That Boost_NO_BOOST_CMAKE setting fixes things for me (I would be really curious to understand why using boost's BoostConfig.cmake configuration file doesn't work; but that probably requires a knowledge about cmake which I lack) thanks again ciao gabriele _______________________________________________ Rdkit-discuss mailing list Rdkit-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rdkit-discuss
