Wt

Hi all. You can consider this post as a "continuation" of [[http://redmine.webtoolkit.eu/boards/2/topics/4714]].

I'm overly doomed by linking dependencies, so I wasted a week's time to just trying to build my own Wt project (I hoped I coded it well, so it will run successfully after I get rid of building failures).

After success on solving the problem referenced in my above-mentioned post (cannot open boost/any), I got those linker errors (complete build log from MSVC 2008):

I did some research on this error code and I tried any error-fixing method that I found (i.e [[http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6623778/cmake-linking-to-boost-error-lnk2005?lq=1]] , http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6468681/problem-linking-to-boost-library-with-cmake-generated-project-file-for-msvc9 - I should mention that a LNK1104 ocuured previously, but it's cause was that I've mispelled the names of libboost libraries in my CMakeLists.txt).

So far, I tried to fix those errors by disabling cmake's auto-linking, moving boost's dlls to another directory (to left only the static libraries into lib directory) and applying some other suggestions but they persist.

My CMakeLists.txt placed on source directory is:
CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED(VERSION 2.8)

SET
SET

1. The names of the Wt libraries. See cmake manual for syntax: the
2. 'debug' and 'optimized' tell what names to use for non-debug and
3. debug builds. On MSVS, this is important to get right for runtime
4. library compatibility reasons.
   SET(WT_LIBS
   optimized wthttp debug wthttpd
   optimized wt debug wtd)

1. Usually there's no need to set BOOST_LIBS on windows; auto-linking is used.
2. The libraries as listed below is a bit naive; the names tend to be more
3. complex, and especially on windows, you'll have to specify the optimized/debug
4. builds separately (as done above for Wt). The libraries as listed below may
5. work on Linux. If not, consider using cmake's FindBoost method
   SET(BOOST_LIBS
   boost_signals-vc90-mt-gd-1_47 boost_regex-vc90-mt-gd-1_47 boost_thread-vc90-mt-gd-1_47
   boost_filesystem-vc90-mt-gd-1_47 boost_system-vc90-mt-gd-1_47
   boost_random-vc90-mt-gd-1_47 boost_date_time-vc90-mt-gd-1_47 boost_program_options-vc90-mt-gd-1_47)

1. tell the compiler where it should look for extra include files
   INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(${WT_INSTALL_DIR}/include)
   INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(${BOOST_INSTALL_DIR})

1. tell the linker where all these libraries should be searched for
   LINK_DIRECTORIES (
   ${WT_INSTALL_DIR}/lib/
   ${BOOST_INSTALL_DIR}/lib/
   )

#test:
ADD_DEFINITIONS(-DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB)
#ADD_DEFINITIONS(-DBOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK)

#test:
SET

1. tell the linker where all these libraries should be searched for
   #LINK_DIRECTORIES (
2. ${WT_INSTALL_DIR}/lib/
3. ${BOOST_INSTALL_DIR}/lib/
   #)

ADD_EXECUTABLE(
GOP.wt
Main.C
)

1. tell cmake what it should link your executable to
   TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES (
   GOP.wt
   ${WT_LIBS} ${BOOST_LIBS} ${SYSTEM_LIBS}
   )

I also checked CMakeOutput.txt and TargetDirectories. My CMakeCache.txt from last build is attached to this post.

Any help would be appreciated.
