Hi Boost Users, I need the Boost Serialization Library in order to use a MATLAB make file. The make file is looking for a static library file named either boost_serialization.lib or libboost_serialization.lib. However, when I built the serialization library, I got a lot of object files and rsp files rather than a .lib file. Do you know how to create the .lib file? I am not sure if it matters, but I am using a Windows computer. When you build the boost libraries, is there a way to generate .lib files for them? Below, I have documented the steps I took to build the library. Please take a glance at it and let me know if I missed something that will allow me to obtain the .lib file. 1. Download and unzip the boost folder http://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_63_0.html 1. Look inside folder and make sure you find bootstrap.bat 1. Open the Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt and navigate to the boost folder [cid:image001.jpg@01D2BF3C.88D418B0] 1. Type bootstrap into the command line and hit enter [cid:image002.jpg@01D2BF3C.88D418B0] 1. After it finishes bootstrapping, type in .\b2 --with-serialization and hit enter. The serialization library will be built. I still have not figured out how to generate the .lib file. [cid:image003.jpg@01D2BF3C.88D418B0] Tina Alam IT Flex - Software Engineer
