This is the readme file for loglite cmake makefile generation. First, define BOOST_INCLUDE environment variable with the path of the boost library. Then, define the suffix of your boost library (like: -gcc43-mt-1_39 if you have your library like libboost_thread-gcc43-mt-1_39.a) Finally generate the makefile with cmake and launch a make. example: export BOOST_INCLUDE=/home/you/boost_1_35_0/ export BOOST_LIB_SUFFIX=-gcc43-mt-1_39 cmake CMakeLists.txt make Giddiyup!
