Using cpp-netlib in a C++ project under Windows

Question

I want to use the cpp-netlib library in a C++ project of mine running on Windows. I've strictly followed the instructions under http://cpp-netlib.github.com/getting_started.html up to the "Getting CMake" section, which is where I stopped understanding the instruction. Is CMake indeed non-obligatory? If so, what are the exact steps required so I can use the library in my projects?

If someone could provide me with instructions here, or refer me to a detailed guide it'd be great. Google didn't help me that much.

Did you end up figuring this out? I am trying to use this too. — Baruch

Unfortunately no. Eventually we used a different technology. — user181218

Same problem here:

I got it going with

From the directory I dumped cpp-netlib-0.9.4 in

cd ..
mkdir cpp-netlib-build
cd cpp-netlib-build
cmake.exe -G "Visual Studio 10" -DBOOST_ROOT:string="C:\Dev\Boost\boost_1_51_0" ../cpp-netlib-0.9.4

(Your paths may vary) This populates the cpp-netlib-build directory with a VS10 solution and projects.

I really liked cpp-netlib's use of Boost, and the structure of it's API, but due to bugs I opted for Poco in the end.

Instead of -DBOOST_ROOT:string I had to specify -DBOOST_INCLUDEDIR:string and -DBOOST_LIBRARYDIR:string separately. Also, -G "Visual Studio 11" worked with VS2012.

The generated VS projects did not specify the BOOST_LIBRARYDIR as an additional library folder, I had to add it manually to all project.
