[CMake] Not able to find boost with cmake

[钟元鑫]

Actually I have built boost from source with the version I downloaded, and I've run the install script given by boost. However, I just cannot let CMake find it.


[ D:/Program Files/CMake/share/cmake-3.9/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:1450 ] _boost_LIBRARY_SEARCH_DIRS_RELEASE = D:/Program Files/PCL 1.8.0/3rdParty/Boost/include/boost-1_61/lib; ...(many other directories)
[ D:/Program Files/CMake/share/cmake-3.9/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:1595 ] Searching for THREAD_LIBRARY_RELEASE: libboost_thread-vc141-mt-1_61;libboost_thread-vc141-mt;libboost_thread-vc140-mt-1_61;libboost_thread-vc140-mt;libboost_thread-mt-1_61;libboost_thread-mt;libboost_thread 



These are two lines in the output message, and I'm sure there is a file named "libboost_thread-vc141-mt-1_61.lib" in the lib directory listed in the first line where CMake will search for in.


However, the error message told me:


Could not find the following static Boost libraries: boost_thread


I don't know how this happened since it seems that CMake had already found the lib files. The attached log file shows the detail.


(PS: really sorry to reply again, I'm new to mailing list service)


Thanks,
Jacob Zhong

It's better not to use downloaded pre-built libraries, always build by yourself locally.



Before using Boost with CMake, please check https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/module/FindBoost.html


If you're trying to use static boost libraries build by MSVC with shared runtime, please make sure the following statements exist in the PCL.

set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON)

set(Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED ON)

set(Boost_USE_STATIC_RUNTIME OFF)




Then if you properly set the Boost_INCLUDE_DIR, all the libraries should be ready then.

I'm trying to build PCL which has boost as dependency. However, when I download boost and build it, cmake cannot find it through any way.


I tried two version of boost, one is pre-build boost which was built by other person online and version is 1.61, another is one I downloaded whose version is 1.64. File structures of the two versions are the same:
[XXX]/include/boost-1_64/boost is the include dir and [XXX]/lib is the bin dir




I try to specify the Boost_INCLUDE_DIR to [XXX]/include/boost-1_64/boost, the messages in output window is attached (I turned Boost_DEBUG on).


I'm on Window 10 and VS2017
