Support #987
closedWt installation problems on Windows
Description
Good evening,
When I was getting some linker+database problems earlier, I decided it
would be best to start the installation from scratch.
I removed all my Wt directories (had about 4 versions), and started
downloading all the dependencies.
I cloned the latest git into C:\libraries\Wt
ls C:\libraries
boost include lib libharu-2.2.1 MySQL mysql--3.1.0 Wt zlib-1.2.5tree C:\libraries\boost

I also installed the latest MySQL x64 from the official mirrors.
From CMake 2.8.5 here is my generator output:

And here is how I configured CMake 2.8.5 (Native Compilers, Visual Studio 2010):

CMakeCache.txt: http://pastebin.com/2bQrzRX8
& here is my Visual Studio 2010 build output:
http://pastebin.com/EWbbErWt
(currently many "Cannot open include file: 'boost/scoped_array.hpp':
No such file or directory" boost library errors)
How do I get Wt to compile properly?
Thanks for all suggestions,
Alec Taylor

Hello Alec,
Can you look for weird configurations in the CMakeCache.txt file?
Can you attach it to this bug report?
Thank you,
Wim.

Hi Wim,
I've attached the CMakeCache.txt file...
I'm currently working on uninstalling all Visual Studio stuff from my computer (including Expression Web & all the redists), then I will attempt installation again (with just a clean install of Visual Studio 2011 Ult).
As for weird configurations, it always detects boost in the wrong place... so I always need to manually repair it.
Libharu is also never properly detected.
Thanks for all suggestions,
Alec Taylor
