I am trying to build CMake for Sofa and got a problem with boost as follows:
“CMake Error at C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake/share/cmake-3.15/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:137 (message):
Could NOT find Boost (missing: system filesystem locale program_options
chrono atomic) (found version “1.66.0”)
Call Stack (most recent call first):
C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake/share/cmake-3.15/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:378 (_FPHSA_FAILURE_MESSAGE)
C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake/share/cmake-3.15/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:1990 (find_package_handle_standard_args)
SofaKernel/SofaFramework/CMakeLists.txt:115 (find_package)”

Anyone can help? Thanks

By manually assigned value to “Boost_SYSTEM_LIBRARY_RELEASE, Boost_PROGRAM_OPTIONS …” to G:/My drive/Library/sofa/src/boost_1_166_0/lib64-msvc-14.0, I solved the problem.

Hi @simonau866
Can you share exactly how to set these values?

Thank you!

Hi @eyadshak

In the CMake configuration (I guess using the cmake-gui interface), you need to set the CMake variable for boost. As detailed here in the doc, you can create a new entry BOOST_ROOT and specify the path to your boost directory.

If you struggle, please specify us your OS and all your versions (SOFA, boost, cmake)

Best

Hey @hugo

I have already done that but I get the same error. Running on Windows 7, SOFA 19.06, boost 1.70.0, CMake 3.15.0, VS15. I got it working on Ubuntu though, but not on Windows.
```

Hi @eyadshak,

At every new Boost version, it takes some (long) time for CMake devs to update how to handle the dependencies within Boost. Because of this, latest Boost versions always cause detection problems with CMake.

My recommendation to avoid this problem:
1. Go on CMake releases page and note the release date of the latest stable CMake (not a “rc” version).
2. Install this CMake version.
3. Go on Boost version history and note what was the latest Boost version on the CMake release date you noted at step 1.
4. Install the PREVIOUS Boost version.

Therefore, I would go for CMake 3.14.5 (latest stable release) and Boost 1.69.0 (CMake 3.14.5 was out on 31 May 2019, latest Boost on this date was 1.70.0, previous version is 1.69.0).

Hope that helps,
Guillaume.

Hello everyone,

Thanks @simonau866 for the video! For now I got SOFA running all and well on Windows 10, it was indeed a compatibility issue between CMake and Boost, though I did face detection errors on CMake 3.14.5 + Boost 1.69.0. I used my previous combination that worked on Ubuntu and it was able to build and compile successfully.

Here is my current configuration:
– Windows 10 Pro
– SOFA v19.06
– Visual Studio Community 2015
– CMake 3.10.2
– Boost 1.65.1
– Qt 5.12.2 LTS

Thanks all
