I have configured and installed boost like this:

bjam --prefix=P:\boost-1.44.0\x64\Release address-model=64 variant=release --with-thread --with-date_time --with-program_options --with-filesystem --with-system install

bjam --prefix=P:\boost-1.44.0\x64\Debug address-model=64 variant=debug --with-thread --with-date_time --with-program_options --with-filesystem --with-system install

I configure CGAL with cmake 2.8.4 like this:

E:\build\cgal-3.7>cmake -DBoost_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=P:/boost-1.44.0/x64/Release/inc

lude/boost-1_44 -DBoost_LIBRARY_DIRS:FILEPATH=P:/boost-1.44.0/x64/Release/lib -D

Boost_THREAD_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=optimized;P:/boost-1.44.0/x64/Release/lib/libboost

_thread-vc100-mt-1_44.lib;debug;P:/boost-1.44.0/x64/Debug/lib/libboost_thread-vc

100-mt-gd-1_44.lib -DBoost_THREAD_LIBRARY_RELEASE:FILEPATH=P:/boost-1.44.0/x64/R

elease/lib/libboost_thread-vc100-mt-1_44.lib  -DBoost_THREAD_LIBRARY_DEBUG:FILEP

ATH=P:/boost-1.44.0/x64/Debug/lib/libboost_thread-vc100-mt-gd-1_44.lib E:/pack/C

GAL-3.7

and I still get the same error, see below. I add the suggested variables in the GUI to no avail, with the frustrating effect that the variables storing the thread libs are always reset to NOTFOUND.

Any way out?

Regards,

Dominik

I am since long on Windows 7, and was on XP64 before.

I huilt  Boost 1_41_0 this way

bjam address-model=64 --with-thread --with-date_time --with-program_options --with-filesystem --with-system debug release stage

and I copied the libraries (they are all static) to
the directory lib.

In my CMakeCache I have

//Path to a file.

In case you created dll's did you put them in the PATH

Hmmm, this switch is not documented (no mention in bjam --help) so I
assume 64 bit version would be built on 64 bit command prompt.
But anyway, I compiled a version with your switch, but the problem is
still there.

   Hi Dominik,

   there is a switch:

   bjam address-model=64

       I have built boost in the 64 bit VC prompt, so I assume so. I

       see a switch to chose 32/64 with bjam.
       $BOOST_ROOT/lib contains files like
       boost_thread-vc100-mt-1_46_1.lib/dll.

           Hi Dominik,

           Did you build boost for 64 bits?  The precompiled versions from
           Boost Consulting are for 32 bit.

           What are the files in your directory
           $BOOST_ROOT/lib

               Is it possible to configure CGAL 3.7 with MSVC 2010 64?

               I have boost 1.46.1 here and whatever I do to configure
       CGAL I
               always see:

               The following Boost libraries could not be found:

                        boost_thread

               No Boost libraries were found.  You may need to set
               Boost_LIBRARYDIR to
               directory containing Boost libraries or BOOST_ROOT to the
               location of
               Boost.

               I set both Boost_LIBRARYDIR and BOOST_ROOT to the right
       values to no
               avail. Whatever I put as contents of the thread
       release/debug
               libraries
               they are always reset to NOTFOUND.

               I have also removed the FindBoost.cmake in CGAL to use
       the one
               bundled
               in cmake 2.8.4 - no avail.

               I will be grateful for any pointers.

               Dominik

               PS. I tried hacking and hardcoded boost paths/libs but
       this bites me
               back later during compilation and linking.
