Boost-Lib: how can I build stp with boost on debian

Question

i want to build stp on Debian Jessy with CMake which use the boost library, I got the errror: Could not find the following Boost libraries: boost_program_options boost_system

I have tried to set the include path direct but no succes. For me it seems that there are only headers and no lib. What can I do?

Here the complete output with Boost_DEBUG=ON and Boost_DETAILED_FAILURE=ON:

Answer 1

I have seen the same problem on CentOS.

$ cat /etc/redhat-release 
CentOS Linux release 7.0.1406 (Core)

First, i ensured libboost-system.so is exist in /usr/lib64.

$ find /usr -name "*boost*"

Then, in findBoost.cmake, i found it only looks boost in somedir/lib. So i installed x86 version

$ yum install boost-devel.x86_64

Not working.

Finally, it occurred to me, there is only .so files. So i tried to edit stp/CMakeLists.txt, and set

set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS OFF)

if(NOT BUILD_SHARED_LIBS)
    # If we are building libstp as static we will want to 
    # make sure there are no unresolved symbols to Boost
    # library functions. Later we'll merge them into the
    # archive so we'll need static boost libraries.
    message("Trying to use static Boost libraries")
    # set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON)
endif()

It works!
