CMake with Boost library Windows 10 Library not found correctly

问题

Like many others i have problems using boost libraries with windows. On Ubuntu 16.04 it works all very well with libboost-all-dev but on windows i have many problems.

I try to build a cryptonote application which i can compile completely without any errors under linux. But i need also windows binaries so i did the steps to install the following tools:

Visual Studio 2013 (vc120)
CMake 3.10.1
Python 3.6.4
Boost 1.58

For boost i did the following steps:

Installing boost from binary
Run bootstrap.bat
Run b2 install
Run bjam install "--with-some-libs"

Nothing works. The cryptonote throws me an error that some but not all libraries could not be found.

I tried to set the BOOST_ROOT, BOOST_LIBRARY_DIRS, BOOST_INCLUDE_DIRS -> Nothing.

What i did wrong? The error i get from cmake is this:

CMake Error at C:/Program Files/CMake/share/cmake-3.10/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:1928 (message):
  Unable to find the requested Boost libraries.

  Boost version: 1.58.0

  Boost include path: C:/local/boost_1_58_0

  Could not find the following static Boost libraries:

          boost_system
          boost_filesystem
          boost_thread

          boost_chrono

          boost_serialization
          boost_program_options

  Some (but not all) of the required Boost libraries were found.  You may
  need to install these additional Boost libraries.  Alternatively, set
  BOOST_LIBRARYDIR to the directory containing Boost libraries or BOOST_ROOT
  to the location of Boost.

Maybe someone can help to fix this issue ?

回答1:

Ok finally i've found a solution after reading many, many and many more pages on the internet.

The solution is really simple. After downloading the boost package and installing it (or building from source) you just need the following two parts:

Open your CMD (cmd.exe)
switch to your installation directory of boost (example C:\local\boost_1_58_0)

Just run the following commands:

bootstrap.bat
b2 link=static runtime-link=static release stage

This will create all librarys static and makes it useable for cmake.

This solution works for me and made me able to build the needed package.

Thanks for all helpers

Or you could just tell boost which compiler to use by adding

toolset=msvc-12.0

(for MS 2013 v12, etc.)

to the b2 command line :-)
