[Insight-users] Fwd: using boost with ITK

OK, this still isn't working for me. I can get regular boost, but not
the boost filesystem library.
My CMakeLists.txt:
# ---------- Find Boost Headers/Libraries -----------------------
SET (Boost_FIND_REQUIRED TRUE)
SET (Boost_FIND_QUIETLY TRUE)
set (Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED TRUE)
set (Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS TRUE)
SET (Boost_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS "1.41" "1.41.0" "1.39" "1.39.0")
if ( NOT MXA_BOOST_HEADERS_ONLY)
set (MXA_BOOST_COMPONENTS program_options file_system system)
endif()
FIND_PACKAGE(Boost COMPONENTS ${MXA_BOOST_COMPONENTS} )
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
LINK_DIRECTORIES(${Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS})
Also, as a system variable,
BOOST_ROOT = C:\developer\i386\boost_1_40
I built it into that directory using the command:
bjam.exe toolset=msvc-9.0 --with-test --with-filesystem
--with-program_options --with-date_time --with-thread
--prefix=C:\Developer\i386\boost_1_40 variant=release,debug
threading=multi link=static runtime-link=shared install
with a bjam.exe that was put in the c:\developer\vs9\boost_1_40
directory, where I had previously unzipped the boost redistributables.
The problem is that the filesystem is still not being found. The
Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS points to C:/Developer/i386/boost_1_40/lib, which
is where both libboost_filesystem-vc90-mt-1_40.lib and
libboost_filesystem-vc90-mt-gd-1_40.lib are sitting. However,
Boost_FILE_SYSTEM_LIBRARY_DEBUG and Boost_FILE_SYSTEM_LIBRARY_RELEASE
are both pointing to NOTFOUND, and setting those libraries explicitly
causes them to still be not found and the paths in CMake to reset
themseves to Not Found, even after I explicitly set them.
If I remove the file_system from the MXA_BOOST_COMPONENTS variable in
the CMakeLists.txt file, then the CMake build works fine, but I can't
use boost::filesystem (which makes sense).
What am I doing wrong? How can I get the boost filesystem into my
code using cmake?
Also, once I get this to work, I should be able to call the filesystem
stuff exactly as I would according to the tutorials, right? That is,
#include "boost/filesystem.hpp" // includes all needed
Boost.Filesystem declarations
#include <iostream> // for std::cout
using boost::filesystem; // for ease of tutorial presentation;
// a namespace alias is preferred
practice in real code
(from http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_40_0/libs/filesystem/doc/index.htm)
Thanks,
Mark
