Thank you all for the inputs. Shall try all the suggested methods and then get back to you.<br><br>Meanwhile I have another quick question. I am trying to build a library(.lib) and the directory strcture is as mentioned below.<br>
<br>|-Lib_a<br>| -lib1<br>| -lib2<br>| -lib3<br>|-Lib_b<br><br>Lib_a
has three sub-directories and each directory creates a .lib file. The
requirement is to create a library(.lib) in Lib_b, which uses all the 3
libraries created in Lib_a. How should my CMakeLists.txt in Lib_b
should look for this requirement?<br>
<br>Many thanks,<br>-Ram<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jan 21, 2009 at 8:44 PM, Adam Weiss <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:cseadam%2Bcmake@gmail.com">cseadam+cmake@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

</div></div>As the module says:<br>
<br>
# Variables used by this module, they can change the default behaviour<br>
and need to be set<br>
# before calling find_package:<br>
# Boost_USE_MULTITHREAD Can be set to OFF to use the non-multithreaded<br>
# boost libraries. Defaults to ON.<br>
# Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS Can be set to ON to force the use of the static<br>
# boost libraries. Defaults to OFF.<br>
# Boost_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS A list of version numbers to use for searching<br>
# the boost include directory. The default list<br>
# of version numbers is:<br>
# 1.33, 1.33.0, 1.33.1, 1.34, 1.34.0, 1.34.1,<br>
# 1.35, 1.35.0, 1.35.1, 1.36.0, 1.36.1<br>
# If you want to look for an older or newer<br>
# version set this variable to a list of<br>
# strings, where each string contains a<br>
number, i.e.<br>
# SET(Boost_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS<br>
"0.99.0" "1.35.0")<br>
# BOOST_ROOT Preferred installation prefix for<br>
searching for Boost,<br>
# set this if the module has problems<br>
finding the proper Boost installation<br>
# BOOST_INCLUDEDIR Set this to the include directory of<br>
Boost, if the<br>
# module has problems finding the<br>
proper Boost installation<br>
# BOOST_LIBRARYDIR Set this to the lib directory of Boost, if the<br>
# module has problems finding the<br>
proper Boost installation<br>
#<br>
# The last three variables are available also as environment variables<br>
<br>
<br>
Following this, there should be no problem getting Find_Package(Boost) to work.<br>
