[SOLVED] Building sofa – Could not find Boost Thread

[ASH]

Hi all
i am getting cmake error ,whether i need to install boost libraries separately??
CMake Error at F:/CMake/share/cmake-3.4/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:1247 (message):
Unable to find the requested Boost libraries.

Boost version: 1.54.0

Boost include path: C:/Users/Hp/Desktop/sofa1512/extlibs/miniBoost

Could not find the following Boost libraries:

boost_thread

No Boost libraries were found. You may need to set BOOST_LIBRARYDIR to the
directory containing Boost libraries or BOOST_ROOT to the location of
Boost.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
modules/SofaHaptics/CMakeLists.txt:24 (find_package)

Dear Ash,

By default in SOFA-v15.12, miniboost currently prevents from installing boost. However, if you activated a specific plugin requiring boost_thread, miniboost is not sufficient anymore. You will have to install boost on your system.

Did you activate any other plugin?

Cheers,

Hugo

Hi guys, I also got this error recently. I “installed” boost and set the CMake variables BOOST_LIBRARYDIR and BOOST_ROOT. This should work.

@Hugo: I don’t remember if I activated a plugin or not. But if I did activated one, it was “image”.

Hi Ash,

Since Hugo provided an accurate answer and Alex confirmed, I mark this topic as Solved.
Feel free to write back if it is not.

Cheers,
Guillaume
