Win10 issues with examples : CMake and Boost library

Added by Paul Leopard almost 7 years ago

Trying to get the examples compiled so I can start doing some real work with Wt ... This library looks very nice so I am encouraged ...

Anyway, I'm having Boost issues trying to configure Visual Studio 14 Win64 projects with the examples. Following is a list of what I've got and done so far:

- Installed boost 167 from the precompiled binaries to C:\local\boost_1_67_0\

- Set BOOST_ROOT environment variable to the same directory

- Installed Wt 403 from the prebuilt binaries to C:\Users\pleopard\Wt 4.0.3 msvs2015 x64

- Set the Wt_DIR environment variable to C:\Users\pleopard\Wt 4.0.3 msvs2015 x64\lib\cmake\wt

- Opened a command console to the examples directory (configured with the VS 14 Win64 vcvarsall.bat)

  • Create and configure a build directory :
    mkdir build
    cd build
    cmake ../ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../
    I get the following output (Note: CMakeOutput.log and CMakeError.log attached to this message)

*Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks,

Paul

RE: Win10 issues with examples : CMake and Boost library - Added by Roel Standaert almost 7 years ago

It's not finding Boost properly because your CMake is too old. Update it to CMake 3.11.

As for the error about CHECK_FUNCTION_EXISTS: it looks like we need to add INCLUDE(CheckFunctionExists) to examples/hangman/CMakeLists.txt.

RE: Win10 issues with examples : CMake and Boost library - Added by Paul Leopard almost 7 years ago

That fixed everything, I am up and running now.

I would never have expected that a simple change from CMake 3.10 to 3.11 would make all the difference.

Thanks for your help

Paul

RE: Win10 issues with examples : CMake and Boost library - Added by Wim Dumon almost 7 years ago

Hi Paul,

Good to hear everything works.

Finding boost on Windows can be a challenge, and the 'system' regularly changes.

Best regards,

Wim.
