Is this project dead?
Opened this issue · 3 comments
The new version can not build on Windows, visual studio, Even can not configure by CMake. The
equalizergraphics.net website can not access; Then I find and download the old v1.2 bin for windows hardly, and when I try to start the example applications, it said there is no gpusd.dll; And it seems that the GPU-SD can only be downloaded from equalizergraphics.net, which is dead. So, untill now, there is no way to use this library on windows at all. Do you still running and care about this project?
Hi Arthur, this project is not dead, but it has been quiet lately.
The server behind equalizergraphics.net has been deactivated a long time ago, when we moved to github. It has been archived on http://eyescale.github.io/equalizergraphics.com/.
The cmake path on Windows was always tricky due to not having a standard package manager. What problems do you have during the cmake run?
Hi，I'm compile the project on win10，and already define Environmental variable for BOOST_ROOT=“E:/boost_1_57_0”、BOOST_LIBRARYDIR=“E:/boost_1_57_0/lib64-msvc-9.0”、BOOST_INCLUDEDIR=“E:/boost_1_57_0”、Boost_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS=“1.57 1.57.0”、Boost_USE_MULTITHREAD=“ON”，Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS=“ON”，but got compile fail message below：

CMake Deprecation Warning at CMake/common/Common.cmake:32 (cmake_policy):
The OLD behavior for policy CMP0054 will be removed from a future version

The cmake-policies(7) manual explains that the OLD behaviors of all
policies are deprecated and that a policy should be set to OLD only under
specific short-term circumstances. Projects should be ported to the NEW
behavior and not rely on setting a policy to OLD.

I do not kown why? Can you help me
The boost finder is one of the annoying ones in cmake, it changes behavior all the time. Add to that the non-existing package management on Windows, and you're in a world of pain. I don't have a Windows system to repro anymore, but it looks like your problem is here:

I would try setting the policy. If that still doesn't work, there is a Boost_DEBUG variable (iirc) which should give you detailed output on why the Boost finder is not finding stuff.
