Installation issues #22

Closed acamargofb closed 3 years ago

acamargofb commented 3 years ago

I have installing the CiftiLib, but even I have installed Boost, I am getting this error:

Unable to find the Boost header files. Please set BOOST_ROOT to the root directory containing Boost or BOOST_INCLUDEDIR to the directory containing Boost's headers.

Have a nice day,

Aldo

Did you install boost manually or via your distribution's package manager? If it isn't installed in a standard system include directory, you will need to use BOOST_ROOT to tell cmake where you installed it.

I install manually using the steps of this site: https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_61_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html How can I set the BOOST_ROOT ? Where do I have to do it?

On your cmake command, add -D BOOST_ROOT=/path/to/your/install, substituting in the path that you actually installed it to.

If you have admin on this machine and it is linux, you can instead do something like sudo apt-get install libboost-dev libboost-filesystem-dev (for debian and friends) and then cmake should be able to find it without help. On recent debian-family systems, a version of CiftiLib is also available in the package manager, you can try sudo apt-get install libcifti-dev.

Out of curiosity, what are you planning to do with CiftiLib?

Hi Tim,

Thanks a lot for your quick and accurate answers. I fixed the problem now. We are planning to do some analysis on Cifti images using sample entropy. So far, I made it to work on my PC, but I am trying to install it on my colleague.

Thanks a lot and have a nice day,

Aldo
