The following issue has been SUBMITTED. ====================================================================== http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=15551 ====================================================================== Reported By: Zack Snyder Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: CMake Issue ID: 15551 Category: CMake Reproducibility: always Severity: feature Priority: normal Status: new ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 2015-05-01 13:58 EDT Last Modified: 2015-05-01 13:58 EDT ====================================================================== Summary: Boost libraries (.dll & .lib) should be found automatically inside the specified BOOST_ROOT directory Description: The boost binaries are not found when they are located under a certain sub directory in BOOST_ROOT.
I downloaded the prebuild boost binaries from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost-binaries/ That will install the boost headers and libraries within one folder. The folder of the binaries is called e.g. "lib32-msvc-12.0" or "lib64-msvc-12.0" These folders are located under the BOOST_ROOT directory. Finding boost within cmake will not work for the binaries, i.e.: find_package(Boost COMPONENTS chrono system) this will result in an error. The user has to specify the environment variable BOOST_LIBRARYDIR. e.g. set BOOST_LIBRARYDIR=%BOOST_ROOT%/lib64-msvc-12.0 and of course for 32 bit another directory. Request: 1) Is it possible that CMake can automatically iterate through the directory of boost and find this libraries? Or maybe you can add support to look after a directory called "lib64-*" or "lib32-*" and look into those. 2) It should be also automatically found the correct binaries architecture for the currently used compiler, e.g. 32bit binaries for 32 compiler, etc... ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2015-05-01 13:58 Zack Snyder New Issue ====================================================================== -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
