I have downloaded Boost, LibE57, Xerces. Should I have binaries or source code for most of these?
Specific folder structure/ files which cmake is looking for?
I loaded xerces into VS, changed static debug and static release per instructions. Built. copied the output (a .lib file and a file called "obj" which contains numerous obj files). I performed this build for both x64 and x86 in static debug and static release just to be sure I had the right files. I then organized the output files as follows:
I am unsure what comes after this or if this was even done correct as I am unable to get cmake to do anything at this point.temporaryfolderXerces ->
/include ->
x64 ->
debug ->
obj folder that was output for x64 static debug
release->
obj folder that was output for x64 static release
x86 ->
debug ->
obj folder that was output for x86 static debug
release->
obj folder that was output for x86 static release
/lib ->
x64 ->
.lib file that was output for x64 static debug
.lib file that was output for x64 static release
x86 ->
.lib file that was output for x86 static debug
.lib file that was output for x86 static release
Do I need to build boost or just refer to the root in cmake when asked for it? (What is the root of Boost, cmake continually says it is unable to find a valid root or is incompatible with current version)
