The name of my binaries are like: libboost_thread-vc100-mt-1_50.lib or libboost_thread-vc100-mt-gd-1_50.lib and I believe that findboost.cmake cannot find names like that. So I set all the BOOST_USE_XXX flags and now internally I get _boost_COMPILER = -vc100 _boost_MULTITHREADED = -mt _boost_RELEASE_ABI_TAG = -s _boost_DEBUG_ABI_TAG = -sgd I have no idea where the 's' in the ABI_TAGs is coming from? Is there a way to change those tags? I'm building boost like this: bjam -j4 --toolset=msvc --without-mpi variant=debug link=static runtime-link=shared define=_CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE define=_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE define=_SCL_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE stage Thanks again, Christian -- Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
