[CMake] Lnk 1104 with nmake, and the lib prefix

[Alain Leblanc]

Hi,

I'm having a problem building a dll using CMake with the nmake
generator. It may be more of a VC++ question, but I figured someone
here might know the answer.

I have some C++ file that make calls to the boost libraries. I want to
put them in a dll. CMake finds the libraries ok. This is from the
generated build.cmake file.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I run nmake all the source files are compiled OK, but then I get

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Done with cmake.
-- Configuring done

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


Notice than nmake complains about not finding libboost_filesystemXXX,
while the build.cmake refers to boost_filesystemXXX, which are the
actual names of the boost libraries on my system. My CMake
instructions are (cut and paste from different files)


# Change the following to look for a particular version of boost
# With the current options nmake will look for the mt-gd-1_39, even though
# the mt-1_39 is there. Probably due to compiler options.

set (BOOST_SUFFIX "-vc90-mt-gd-1_39")

find_library(BOOST_REGEX      NAMES  boost_regex-mt
boost_regex${BOOST_SUFFIX}          PATHS ${LIBRARIES_SEARCH_PATH})
find_library(BOOST_FILESYSTEM NAMES  boost_filesystem-mt
boost_filesystem${BOOST_SUFFIX} PATHS ${LIBRARIES_SEARCH_PATH})
find_library(BOOST_SYSTEM     NAMES  boost_system-mt
boost_system${BOOST_SUFFIX}         PATHS ${LIBRARIES_SEARCH_PATH})
find_library(BOOST_DATETIME   NAMES  boost_date_time-mt
boost_date_time${BOOST_SUFFIX}   PATHS ${LIBRARIES_SEARCH_PATH})
find_library(BOOST_SYSTEM     NAMES  boost_system-mt
boost_system${BOOST_SUFFIX}   	  PATHS ${LIBRARIES_SEARCH_PATH})

...

add_library(utility SHARED ${SRC_FILES})
target_link_libraries(utility   ${MATHSTAT} ${BOOST_LIBRARIES})

where ${BOOST_LIBRARIES} is a list of all the BOOST_REGEX, etc


Am I missing something obvious here?

Thanks,
