Q: problem setting up Windows XP for C++ builds
Hi - I'm having a problem building the current C++ trunk on my shiny new Windows XP box. I'm sure I've done something wrong with the tools install/config in the Windows environment, but I can't get to the bottom of it.
I'm running cmakesetup, but cannot get past the configuration phase. I keep getting the following error dialog:
CMake Error: Boost C++ libraries not found. Please install or try setting BOOST_ROOT.
I've followed the setup directions in the INSTALL-WINDOWS text file. I've installed CMake 2.4-patch 8, boost 1.35.0, and Microsoft visual C++ Express (9).
And... BOOST_ROOT is set to my boost install path, specifically: C:\boost\boost_1_35_0.
This may be a clue: when I cancel out of the configuration, the cache value Boost_INCLUDE_DIR is in error and set to Boost_INCLUDE_DIR-NOTFOUND.
I'd like to have an windows build environment set up so I can sanity check any changes before posting them - I primarily develop in Linux.
thanks for any help,
-K

Ok... Did you install the BoostPro installer, or build it yourself?
Is BOOST_ROOT set in the cmake cache or via env variable? If env
variable, please try setting it direectly in the cache.

That's the side-affect of Cmake not finding Boost.

My man... :-)
