Caffe Windows boost mismatch

[Isaac Sherman]

Following the instructions here: https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/tree/windows

I am using Visual Studio 2015.

I have boost packages installed via NuGet.  It's using version 1.59, vc120.  Unfortunately, the linker is looking for 1.59 vc140.  Where do I need to change things to get it to point to the right version?

At least, that's what think these errors mean:

Never figured out a way around the cross-compiler compatibility.  Until the boost libraries are available from the modern compiler, it seems you need to compile windows-caffe with VC120.  I'm still using Visual Studio 2015, but the VC120 toolset from 2013 is required- this is currently publicly available through windows, and requires a separate download- ie., VS 2015 does not come with an installer for the 2013 tools.

You should make boost packages on your own.

Please install boost for Windows and add them into your configuration settings(additional include directories, additional library dependencies).

For VS2015, you may find an instruction to use 

But I have trouble with other linking error with caffe project(libcaffe has been already built). Does anybody know about this?

hi can you explain how to make boost packages for vs2015? I also met same problem : cannnot open libboost_python-vc140... no idea how to fix it
