Re: [mongodb-dev] Error when building MongoDB from source on Windows 7 64 LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_thread-vc100-mt-gd-1_42.lib'

Hi Mark.

C:\boost\stage\lib is not provided as a LIBPATH on the linker command line. See http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Boost+and+Windows

For version 2.0.7 and below, you must put your Boost libraries in C:\boost\lib; this is where the MongoDB SConstruct is configured to look for it.

You can also try using version 2.2.0rc2; Boost is included in the distribution and you don't have to build it yourself.

Trying to build MongoDB from source.

I downloaded 2.0.7 with Git. Then:

      scons --64
     
Errors out with:

            LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_thread-vc100-mt-gd-1_42.lib'
           
This exits in C:\boost\stage\lib.

I had previously built boost with:

           bjam --build-type=complete msvc stage         
   
I didn't see any mention of this file in config.log. One of the last lines was:

link /nologo /NODEFAULTLIB:MSVCPRT /NODEFAULTLIB:MSVCRT /OUT:.sconf_temp\conftest_6.exe /LIBPATH:C:\boost\Lib "/LIBPATH:C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Lib\x64" /LIBPATH:C:\winpcap\Lib ws2_32.lib kernel32.lib advapi32.lib Psapi.lib wpcap.lib .sconf_temp\conftest_6.obj
LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'wpcap.lib'
scons: Configure: no      

Thoughts?

Thank you Eric -- moving lib to the boost root worked.

However, apparently I'm just not getting how to build boost. Now my scon --64 gives me this:

libboost_filesystem-vc100-mt-gd-1_42.lib(operations.obj) : fatal error LNK1112: module machine type 'X86' conflicts with target machine type 'x64'
scons: building terminated because of errors.

I'm inferring that this means my boost library was built for x86 whereas I'm trying to build an x64 mongoDB.

Should I create another thread for this new issue?

Thanks,

Mark

I use the prebuilt boost libraries available on the MongoDB website and it works for me in 64-bit mode.  Offhand I'm not sure how to build a boost library from scratch that's correct.

You can build boost from scratch by putting the following in a bat
file in boost root:

CALL "c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
10.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" amd64
CALL bootstrap.bat
set BASE=%CD%
b2 -j8 --toolset=msvc --build-type=complete address-model=64
--with-serialization --with-thread --with-date_time
--with-program_options --with-graph --with-filesystem --with-iostreams
--with-chrono --with-test define=arch:SSE2 link=static threading=multi
--stagedir="%BASE%"
