[Insight-users] Fwd: using boost with ITK

[Michael Jackson]

This is what I do when using boost:

I install boost into C:\Developer\i386\boost_1_41

The naming on that is VERY important as that is the directory that  
FindBoost.cmake looks for on Windows.

Now, in your CMakeLists.txt file I have the following:
# ---------- 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 )
endif()

FIND_PACKAGE(Boost COMPONENTS  ${MXA_BOOST_COMPONENTS} )
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
LINK_DIRECTORIES(${Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS})


And lastly in my environment I have the following set:

BOOST_ROOT=C:\Developer\i386\boost_1_41

Then from a clean build directory I can run cmake to configure my  
project. These settings work for my systems (Windows 7 x64, Visual  
Studio 9) and OS X 10.5 and Linux Ubuntu 09.10. YMMV

Hope that helps
