If the user is compiling 32-bit code I could make FindBoost search "lib32" before "lib" and for 64-bit code I can make it search "lib64" before "lib". If the user had an empty lib64 directory for some reason, it would still find the boost libraries in "lib". Would this work for you? The BOOST_LIBRARYDIR variable is the only other workaround I can think to this issue. ---------------------------------------- Well I'd like to have other FindBoost users opinions. In terms of niceness (I believe there is no equivalent to Linux Standard Base which says where files should be on windows), I am flipping between: 1. c:\Program Files\boost\lib for 64bit libs and c:\Program Files (x86)\boost\lib for 32bit libs. I don't know where to put the headers then, maybe duplicate them in both directories. Then BOOST_ROOT is kind of irrelevant here. 2. C:\boost and then have lib32 lib64 under those, then BOOST_ROOT is c:\boost and your proposed change would be nice, though this somehow seems a little less "standard" to me. Shall we hear what other boosters say?
