无法将Boost链接到VS2015 RC上基于CMake的项目

Question

It gives the error:

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'boost_unit_test_framework-vc140-mt-gd-1_58.lib' [C:\projects\boost-http\build\algorithm.vcxproj]

You can see the full error at AppVeyor . The build script ( CMakeLists.txt and how cmake is invoked) can be found on the project repository .

I've tried a lot, but nothing seems to help. Documentation doesn't help much either. And it is weird that the same code can compile in other platforms. Help appreciated.

Answer 1

The problem is that you define BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK which according to the Boost.Test docs is used when consuming the dynamically-built Boost.Test lib.

Since you have built the static version, you should remove this definition.
