I built Boost 1.38 with CMake and I'm using CMake to build my programs in Windows using MSVC and auto linking but I'm getting errors like:
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_unit_test_framework- vc90-mt-sgd-1_38.lib' Instead I have a library named libboost_unit_test_framework-vc90-mt-sgd-1_38- s.lib. While looking through BoostCore.cmake I found this comment: # STATIC_TAG: States that the name of static library variants on # Unix need to be named differently from shared library # variants. This particular option should only be used in rare cases # where the static and shared library variants are incompatible, # such that linking against the shared library rather than the # static library will cause features. When this option is provided, # static libraries on Unix variants will have "-s" appended to their # names. Note: we hope that this is a temporary solution. At # present, it is only used by the Test library. And a ways below is the place where the -s is appended. It seems like the -s should only be appended in Unix in order to avoid breaking the auto linking in Windows. -- Daniel _______________________________________________ Boost-cmake mailing list Boost-cmake@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-cmake
