How to build pgRouting with CGAL?

Question

When running cmake for CGAL 3.9, I get the following output:

root@postgresql local/CGAL-3.9# cmake -DWITH_CGAL_Qt3=OFF -DWITH_CGAL_Qt4=OFF -DWITH_CGAL_ImageIO=OFF .

CMake Error at cmake/modules/FindBoost.cmake:917 (message):
  Unable to find the requested Boost libraries.

  Boost version: 1.40.0

  Boost include path: /usr/include

  The following Boost libraries could not be found:

          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.

I've tried various env variables. I am wondering if I need to install / compile some other boost thing? I have some libboost* in /usr/lib Any suggestions on things to try would be appreciated.

Answer 1

JJ- thanks for the input. I was digging around in those .cmake files last night. I should have mentioned that overtired = overlooked.

in the many apt-get commands i ran, i ran the following:

apt-get install libboost1.40-dev
apt-get install libboost-thread1.40.0

I then decided to try:

apt-get install libboost-thread-dev

Then for good measure, rebooted. Now its getting past THAT issue. On to the next one!

I spent quite sometime to build cgal a while ago. I don't remember the details anymore, but below is some of my notes. Hope it can help you. I was using boost 1.47. Obviously, I had the same problem as you have now, and it definitely is fixable. -JJ

CGAL:

cmake -G "MSYS MakeFiles" modify the CMakeCache.txt, set the boost include directory, which would be in the local/include of msys May also need to modify Cmake/modules/FindBoost.cmake, if you have trouble finding boost_thread library I also set the env variable: BOOST_LIBRARYDIR=D:/pgroute/MinGW/msys/1.0/local/lib Also modify the FindBoost.cmake, added 1.47 and 1.47.0 to the version list make
