'Boost not found when installing dlib, but its actually installed

Im trying to install dlib for few cv2 projects, but I have problems installing it.I made everything without problem but when I wanted to finally do the python setup.py install It showed me this error message: Could NOT find Boost (missing: python) (found suitable version "1.79.0", minimum required is "1.41.0") I mean why doesnt it work when it sees my installed Boost 1.79...

Does somebody know how to fix it guys? Thank you anyways:)



Solution 1:[1]

From error log it looks like boost libraries are found, but it's missing specific boost library to integrate with python

You have not mentioned which OS you are using for debian & it's derivatives

sudo apt-get install libboost-python-dev or if you are installing specific version of boost sudo apt-get install libboost-python1.79-dev should install the python module.

If boost is built from sources, during bootstrapping enable python libs to be built

./bootstrap.sh --with-libraries=python,filesystem,serialization

for list of boost libs can be built

./bootstrap.sh --show-libraries
