How to use Boost library in Clion with MinGW ? I have downloaded and unzipped boost_1_60_0.zip to C:\boost_1_60_0. What am I supposed to do now ? Do I have to install something ? Here is my CMakeLists.txt:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.3)
project(server_client)
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -std=c++11 -s -O3")
set(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS -static)
set(BOOST_ROOT "C:/boost_1_60_0")
set(BOOSTROOT "C:/boost_1_60_0")
find_package(Boost 1.60.0)
if(NOT Boost_FOUND)
message(FATAL_ERROR "Could not find boost!")
endif()
set(SOURCE_FILES chat_server.cpp)
add_executable(server_client ${SOURCE_FILES})
Can not find Boost:

However, this Infrastructure does setup more granular targets (like Boost::signals2 instead of Boost::headers ) and provide the ability to build compile-necessary targets too (like filesystem). That infrastructure does warn in their README that building Boost with CMake does not work yet and is not supported .
Install Boost (Windows)Download the source code from http://www.boost.org/users/download/. 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 ).
I use MinGW distro by Stephan T. Lavavej with Boost libraries prebuilt.
In my cmaklist.txt I added this
set(Boost_INCLUDE_DIR c:/mingw/include/)
set(Boost_LIBRARY_DIR c:/mingw/lib/)
find_package(Boost COMPONENTS system filesystem REQUIRED)
include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIR})
This post help me get it going. How to include external library (boost) into CLion C++ project with CMake?
