It allows performing certain low level functions such as signing messages or connecting to the debug function on nodes (currently disabled by I believe). Not generally needed.
Got it Thanks
Another question: Boost pre-compiled binaries have either static and shared versions.
After the cmake step I guess Project.sln should point to static ones by itself...or not?
Thanks
although compiling static boost libraries is not a great task
cd c:\boost_1_63_0
bootstrap.bat
b2 --toolset=msvc variant=release link=static threading=multi runtime-link=static address-model=64
libraries are built in stage/lib folder
btw, when i updated cmake to 3.8 (from 3.4.3), i guess findboost has changed because i must now type
cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" -DBOOST_ROOT=c:/local/boost_1_63_0 ..
cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" -DBOOST_ROOT=c:\boost_1_63_0 -DBOOST_LIBRARYDIR=c:\boost_1_63_0\stage\lib ..
