I'm trying to build cpprestsdk (https://github.com/Microsoft/cpprestsdk) under MSYS2. With pacman
I installed the required dependencies:
- boost
- openssl
But I get the following output:
$ cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles" .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
-- Setting gcc options
-- Added test library httpclient_test
-- Added test library httplistener_test
-- Added test library json_test
-- Added test library pplx_test
-- Added test library streams_test
-- Added test library uri_test
-- Added test library utils_test
-- Added test library websocketclient_test CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND.
Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the
CMake files:
C:/cpprestsdk/Release/src/Boost_INCLUDE_DIR
used as include directory in directory
C:/cpprestsdk/Release/src
C:/cpprestsdk/Release/tests/functional/streams/Boost_INCLUDE_DIR
used as include directory in directory
C:/cpprestsdk/Release/tests/functional/streams
C:/cpprestsdk/Release/tests/functional/websockets/Boost_INCLUDE_DIR
used as include directory in directory
C:/cpprestsdk/Release/tests/functional/websockets
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred! See also "C:/cpprestsdk/Release/build.release/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".
I have difficulties to understand what those errors actually mean. I tried to inspect the log output but I didn't find anything so obvious...
Am I missing some other dependencies?
UPDATE
After the good suggestion of @Some programmer dude, I fixed the cmake
errors setting the Boost_INCLUDE_DIR
in CMakelist.txt
.
BUT now I have this one when I issue the make
command:
$ make
Scanning dependencies of target cpprest
[ 0%] Building CXX object src/CMakeFiles/cpprest.dir/http/client/http_client.cpp.obj
cc1plus.exe: error: /mingw32/include/boost: No such file or directory [-Werror=missing-include-dirs]
It says it cannot find /mingw32/include/boost
but it actually exists:
$ ls /mingw32/include/boost/

...
I don't open another question because I'm afraid the issue is related to the previous one - not completely fixed.
