Can't build GoTools download from here

[jrleek]

Hi, I heard that GoTools viewlib is the viewer I should be using for SISL, so, I've been trying to build GoTools. I've been having a very difficult time of it though. Here are some of the problems I've had:

1. cmake insists on trying to use the boost in /usr/lib64. I'm on a shared machine, and the boost installed at /usr/lib64 is 1.41. GoTools cmake gets an error when it tries to build against it:

---

Boost found.

CMake Error at /usr/lib64/boost/Boost.cmake:16 (ADD_LIBRARY):
add_library cannot create imported target "boost_date_time-static" because
another target with the same name already exists.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
/usr/lib64/boost/BoostConfig.cmake:28 (include)
/usr/local/tools/cmake-2.8.10/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:284 (find_package)
CMakeLists.txt:104 (FIND_PACKAGE)

snip

So I built and installed both boost 1.55 and 1.51 into my own directories, but even if I set BOOST_DIR in ccmake, cmake just switches it back to /usr/lib64.
I got around the above error by editing the CMakeLists.txt file to force it to find boost 1.51.

1. Which got it building, but it still insists the BOOST_DIR is /usr/lib64
2. Now cmake has somehow added another lib64 on /usr/lib64. So I'm changing these by hand by hand in the makerfiles.
   [ 57%] Built target testApproxCurve
   make[2]: *** No rule to make target /usr/lib64/lib64/libboost_unit_test_framework-mt.so.5', needed bygotools-core/unit_tests/testBoundedSurface'. Stop.
3. But that just bought me this:
   Linking CXX executable unit_tests/testBoundedSurface
   /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.4.7/../../../../lib64/crt1.o: In function _start': (.text+0x20): undefined reference tomain'
   collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I'm obviously doing something wrong here. Do I need a specific version of boost? Does it HAVE to be installed in /usr/lib64?

Hui,

I have no knowledge of this and the one that might help is on parental leave until August.

Hrm, I'd like to get this going sooner than August. Can you tell me how you build it? What's your environment like? Which version of Boost? Where is it installed? etc.
Thanks

Hi,

As I do not pram I do not have this info myself.
I will ask around.
