Binaries for cpp-netlib

Question

I would like to know if it is possible to get the binaries for the static library for windows (x86 and x64) now present in cpp-netlib for the version 0.9.1?

Frankly it is a pain to compile this on windows for me.

Thanks

Hi Simon, Is it possible to compile the cpp-netlib without using cmake...? I am confused with this statement from getting started doc: "f you intend to run the test suite, you can follow the instructions below. Otherwise, you don’t need CMake to use cpp-netlib in your project. The cpp-netlib requires CMake version 2.8 or higher." Does that means I need not to have cmake to really use cpp-netlib ? – PRIME May 04 '15 at 14:49
I have looked at the project for the first time in years. I know a bit more about cmake now, and if you want a VC++ project, you are going to need cmake. – Simon Featherstone May 05 '15 at 02:33

It seems that cpp-netlib is a header-only library, although it relies on some boost compiled libraries, such as Boost.System, Boost.Date_time, and Boost.Regex. You can easily find boost pre-compiled libraries all over the Internet. You will also need the boost headers to be in your build path as well. Even though cpp-netlib says that Boost 1.41.0 will do, in actuality, version 0.9.1 requires Boost version 1.46.0 or later (just grab the latest which is 1.47.0).

You could also try defining BOOST_NETWORK_NO_LIB which should help out.

Thanks, I gave up on compiling it yesterday and used the macro instead, thanks. — lollancf37, Aug 19 '11 at 20:08
