I am writing a library using boost_regex. For the unit test part, I
am using boost_unit_test_framework and needs to be dynamical linked.
Everything worked great on Linux but not the Windows VS 2008.
I used the BoostPro binary installer, got boost components like:
boost_regex-vc90-mt-gd-1_47.dll and .lib, also the
libboost_regex-vc90-mt-gd-1_47.lib file. After the FIND_PACKAGE(Boost
Components ...) I got the boost_*-vc90-mt-gd-1_47.lib version, (no
prefix lib), however, when I compile the unit test executable, it has
an error fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file
'libboost_regex-vc90-mt-gd-1_47.lib' If I add its directory C:\Program
Files\boost\boost_1_47\lib to the linker's Additional Library
Directory in VS2008 everything went OK.
My question is
1. Where this libboost* comes from ? all my CMake script are giving
boost_* instead of libboost_* libraries.
2. When to set this linker directory so I do not need to add this
manually in VS2008.
The libboost_* libraries are dragged in by auto-linking on Windows.
Auto-linking is ON by default on Windows.
You have to explicitly disable it.
Go to CMake installation directory, locate FindBoost.cmake file,
open this file and read the comments where you have it explained very well.
