Where can i get boost .lib for visual studio 2010??
I tried to rename the old .lib's for VS2008 but this didn't work for the threads library.
Build the binary from source if the distro supplied one is not compatible.

I wanna know the version of the MSVC compiler. How can I do that without using Visual Studio or Installer?
I installed MSVC to compile Rust programs by using Visual Studio Installer. Later I uninstalled Visual Studio Installer but since my Rust programs are still building as normal, MSVC is still there. So I wanna know its version.
I understand I can use Qt5 in Visual Studio by using the Visual Studio Add-in for Qt as mentioned in Building Qt5 with Visual Studio 2012 / Visual Studio 2013, and integrating with the IDE.
Is it possible to use Qt5 in Visual Studio without using the Add-in?
Also, I would like to use CMake to generate the Visual Studio Project.
Yup.
I have it working for a pretty complex subdirs template.
Qmake can generate the visual studio solution file and vcxproj, look here:
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qmake-platform-notes.html#creating-visual-studio-project-files
What I do is use the Qmake project as the master project, and generate the VS stuff out of folder as temporaries. This prevents Visual studio from tangling up in your source files as well as in the qmake stuff. And you can also port it to other OSs without any hassle. Using this approach, if you want to add files to your project, don't do it through VS, but add it to the .PRO file and re-run qmake.
The only thing (that I've found) is if you change anything that needs to be MOC'd, then re-run qmake.
If you want CMake exclusively then this is a nice guide
http://www.kdab.com/using-cmake-with-qt-5/.
The qmake way is a little cleaner as you don't get all the extra noise of finding Qt libraries as you need in CMake.
I have been using 2010 on a project. The project was built using cmake, when cmake chose to use the compiler Visual Studio 2010. Now I intend to move the whole set up of the project to Visual Studio 2013.
So, today I installed Visual Studio 2013. But when I try to use cmake to build the project for visual studio 2013, in the compiler list of cmake I cannot see any compiler of Visual studio 2013, the latest are Visual Studio 2012, Visual Studio 2012 win64, Visual Studio 2012 ARM.
Is there no exclusive compiler for Visual Studio 2013? Does the same compiler work for both VS2012 and VS2013? If Visual Studio 2013 indeed has an exclusive compiler, why can't cmake find the that compiler?
Thanks.
Try updating your CMake version.
The Configue dialog in cmake-gui for CMake 3.1 lists the respective entries as Visual Studio 12 2013:
In older CMake versions (older than 3.0) the entries omitted the year and showed only the version number, so the entry just reads Visual Studio 12.
If your CMake version is even older, there might not be support for Visual Studio 2013 at all. However, you should still be able to open project files generated for an older Visual Studio version. This might require an additional conversion step by Visual Studio, which might mess things up.
Upgrading CMake is definitely the preferred solution.
I generate a Visual Studio 2013 solution using CMake 3.0.2. When compiled it gives errors similar to this:
MSVCP110D.dll and Visual Studio 2013
I can't get my head around this, the toolset is v120 so why does it link v110 libraries? I've asked in the CMake IRC channel but they can't help me. It's impossible to debug the program because the redistributable does not include debugging dlls.
Edit: This is an Ogre3D application that i derived from the tutorials cmake zip. I've barely touched the CMakeLists.txt, only set REQUIRED for finding boost and added boost-system to libraries that are copied during install.
I found the solution regarding the Ogre3D-specific issues with this. The latest prebuilt 1.9 package was compiled with VS11 (2012) so that's why the .dll is missing, since I use VS12 (2013) as IDE.
The solution is to build Ogre3D from source, as is explained in depth here: http://www.ogre3d.org/tikiwiki/Building+Ogre
Remember to update your OGRE_HOME environment variable to point at the sdk folder inside the build.
Hope this helps other lost souls!
For c++ lib,
I am wondering if there is a way or tool to determine if a lib is for which version of visual studio.
I think different visual studio should use different version of lib. Some libraries does not specify and using the wrong visual studio will have compile/link error.
