Description
Following the instructions on creating your own Data Types I encountered the following error while trying to build RST according to the given instructions
http://docs.cor-lab.de//rst-manual/0.9/html/install.html#installation-from-source
$ cd rst/rst-proto # after "git clone" command $ mkdir -p build && cd build $ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debug -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=PREFIX ..
It starts configuring .. then
causes an error:.. could not find BoostUUID
I installed RSX using the prebuild windows zip package therefore the systemvariables are not set! A hint at this place as to what variables should be what would be helpfull.

As Windows does not have the convention of a single install prefix, basically all find macros for CMake need to be informed where the packages can be found. In the case of boost you probably need to specify -DBOOST_ROOT=your/archive/boost. Can you please try this? This probably needs to be repeated for other dependencies as indicated in the cmake error output.

@Christoph: did you manage to try Johannes' suggestion in the meantime?

Yes! The Problem was cmake=Visual Studio related and the error was on my side.
