This my CMakeLists.txt
file:
add_definitions(-std=c++11)
find_package(Boost 1.55.0 COMPONENTS filesystem REQUIRED)
include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
add_executable(bst main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(bst ${Boost_LIBRARIES})
When i execute cmake ..
in my build
directory , cmake
successfully generates files .
But when i run make
in build
directory i get following errors :
amin@aminux:~/Documents/boost_test/build$ make

in my main.cpp
source file i just called boost::filesystem::is_directory
function for testing boost
.
Install Boost (Windows) Extract in a Boost folder located at C:\ or C:\Program files so that CMake find-modules can detect it. Invoke the command line and navigate to the extracted folder (e.g. cd C:\Boost\boost_1_63_0 ).
For CMake, you need to add boost_program_options to the list of libraries, and IIRC this is done via SET(liblist boost_program_options) in your CMakeLists. txt .
Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS is the list of include directories needed to use Boost. This should include any directories to dependencies needed.
You also should add boost::system library component in your CMakeLists.txt file
find_package(Boost 1.55.0 COMPONENTS filesystem system REQUIRED)
