I'm trying for the first time to build boost 1.40.0 from source with cmake. This on a Slackware Linux system which requires an 64-bit installation of boost in addition to an earlier-made 32-bit one (version 1.35.0). I've been unable to find any tutorial information, and so have had to deduce what to do.
I had to add cmake-2.6.4 as a prerequisite, then commanded: $ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/boost-1.40.0-x86_64-1 -DPYTHON_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/include64/python2.5 . $ make $ make modularize -- need for this discovered in reply on a mailing list $ make install ... (If I don't specify the 64-bit Python include directory, the build picks up the usual 32-bit /usr/include/python2.5 and problems result.) All goes just great until well (97%) into the 'make install', when it appears that the install part of the build (as I have configured it?) is missing necessary include (.hpp) files: ... Scanning dependencies of target inspect [ 97%] Building CXX object tools/inspect/CMakeFiles/inspect.dir/inspect.cpp.o In file included from /local/d0p3/john/boost_1_40_0/tools/inspect/inspect.cpp:28: /local/d0p3/john/boost_1_40_0/tools/inspect/time_string.hpp:19:44: error: boost/config/warning_disable.hpp: No such file or directory make[2]: *** [tools/inspect/CMakeFiles/inspect.dir/inspect.cpp.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [tools/inspect/CMakeFiles/inspect.dir/all] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2 bash-3.1$ I'd link all .hpp files I could find to /usr/local/include64/boost/*/ (as appropriate) and add: -DRELEASE_COMPILE_FLAGS="-O3 -DNDEBUG -I/usr/local/include64" to the cmake arguments, but there must be an easier way of preventing this problem, surely?
