Wt

A couple quick observations: the error message says "Could not find a boost installation in /usr/local" and you talked about /usr/include. I think that's okay, but something to pay attention to.

Beyond that, try setting BOOST_PREFIX as well? Sorry you're having difficulty.

I added BOOST_PREFIX and still same error (and the error now references /usr/include/boost which does in fact contain the hpp files etc)

Also, I'm installing under Fedora 27 (in case that matters)

Still stuck at the CMAKE step....

Based on other threads I've change my cmake line to:

cmake -DBoost_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS=1_64 -DBOOST_PREFIX=/usr/include/boost -DBOOST_VERSION=1_64 -DBOOST_COMPILER=gcc731 ..

But still same error:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:388 (MESSAGE):

Could not find a boost installation in /usr/include/boost.

There are two methods in Wt to find boost:

1. Find boost through cmake (recommended)

This requires cmake 2.6, and is in that case the default (unless

BOOST_COMPILER or BOOST_VERSION is defined). This method requires a

multi-threaded boost installation.

You may need to add your boost version number to Boost_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS,

and/or set BOOST_PREFIX to the location where boost is installed.

2. Use the Wt-proprietary method to find boost.

This requires you to define three variables:

BOOST_PREFIX: set to the directory where you installed boost

BOOST_COMPILER: set to the compiler signature as you find them in library

names (e.g.: gcc42)

BOOST_VERSION: set to the boost version, again as you find them in the

library names (e.g.: 1_38)

Note 1: WT_BOOST_DISCOVERY is the variable that selects the boost discovery

method. When set to false, method 1 is used (default if cmake version is

recent enough and BOOST_COMPILER and BOOST_VERSION are not defined). When

set to true, method 2 is used.

Note 2: the code to discover boost is located in cmake/WtFindBoost.txt

Note 3: on windows, set BOOST_PREFIX to the full path, eg c:/Program

Files/boost/boost_1_65_1

Well...perhaps I should have tried this first:

cmake ../

and then everything seemed to build without error :)
