[CMake] Finding Boost (1.69.0)?
Would the way for finding Boost that I saw before when I asked about doing it for version 1.68.0 also work for version 1.69.0? If so, I could just try to find the archive of older threads and search for that message. If not, please tell me here how to do it. Either way, any help would be appreciated. I'm currently trying to generate project files for Jinja2Cpp with CMake, using Boost version 1.69.0 this time, while using the -DBOOST_ROOT flag. But it keeps saying that one or more Boost modules wasn't found and that it's using the submodule that comes with the Jinja2Cpp source code. -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.

[CMake] Finding Boost in versioned layout on Linux
Hi, I know the version layout of Boost build is preferred or even specific to Windows, but I like it in general, ie. on Linux. It lazily allows me to get everything built with single command: b2 variant=debug,release address-model=32,64 --layout=versioned stage The versioned layout impose some challenges while find_package-ing at least I've experienced it using FindBoost.cmake from latest CMake 3.12. For example, running CMake in Linux environment with GCC 5.5.0 for find_package(Boost 1.65.0 REQUIRED COMPONENTS system) will attempt to search for ... -- [ /usr/local/share/cmake-3.12/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:1420 ] guessed _boost_COMPILER = -gcc55 ... -- [ /usr/local/share/cmake-3.12/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:1760 ] Searching for SYSTEM_LIBRARY_RELEASE: boost_system-gcc55-mt-1_69;boost_system-gcc55-mt;boost_system-mt-1_69;boost_system-mt;boost_system ... The issue is that b2 generated names like libboost_system-gcc5-mt-d-x64-1_69.a So, I had to bend CMake this way to find Boost for me: cmake -DBoost_COMPILER=-gcc5 -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_ARCHITECTURE_ID=x64 .. I'm not asking any specific questions here. I just thought that might be helpful to other users of FindBoost.cmake.

If I'm not mistaken, the user can give hints to FindBoost via the
BOOST_ROOT environment variable. Regardless of whether a user is
using CMake or not, s/he should be setting this environment variable
anyways. Take a look at this:
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/module/FindBoost.html
In particular, the third green-background section on that page.

[CMake] Finding Boost 1.37 with Cmake 2.6.2 on windows
Hello,
I'm trying to use CMake to build one of my utilities and I'm having
problems finding Boost (1.37).
I have a top-level CMakeList.txt file as follows:
=
##Top level build for myUtilTest
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6)
project (myUtilTest CXX)
set(CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE TRUE CACHE BOOL Verbose output FORCE)
add_subdirectory( ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/src )
#add_subdirectory( ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/include )
#local include directory
include_directories(${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR})
In my src directory I have the following CMakeList.txt file:
#
-
# Find Boost - it is a required package
#
-
#include(FindBoost)
find_package(Boost COMPONENTS iostreams filesystem regex system
date_time REQUIRED)
IF (Boost_FOUND)
message(FOUND Boost : ${Boost_LIBRARIES})
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
LINK_DIRECTORIES(${Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS})
ADD_DEFINITIONS(${Boost_LIB_DIAGNOSTIC_DEFINITIONS})
ENDIF (Boost_FOUND)
#
-
# Find VTK - it is a required package
#
-
find_package(VTK REQUIRED)
include(${VTK_USE_FILE})
include_directories(${VTK_INCLUDE_DIR})
#local include directory
include_directories(${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR})
file( GLOB SRCS relative . *.cxx )
#create a program executable
add_executable(myUtilTest ${SRCS})
#link
target_link_libraries(myUtilTest vtkCommon vtkRendering vtkGraphics
vtkWidgets vtkParallel vtkIO ${Boost_LIBRARIES})
#install
install (TARGETS myUtilTest
RUNTIME DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/bin )
My problem is that boost libraries are never found. When I search for
them on disk via the CMake GUI, after loading them all in and hitting
configure, they are still not found and CMake resets the values to
NOT_FOUND.I'm a noob so this is definitely an issue of user error but
I haven't been able to find an example that works. I also googled and
found that there were some issues with FindBoost but it looked like they
may have been resolved.
Any suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Gerrick

[CMake] Finding Boost for Windows and Linux.
Bill, If you think it is generally OK and useful to people, tell me what improvements are needed before it would beeligible for inclusion in the modules directory of CMake.
I have had a go at writing a FindBoost.cmake file (attached). It tries to find where the boost includes are using educated guesses and then tries to determine the path to the library files. The problem with windows is that there is no default library path.
Is there a better way of doing this for both windows and linux? I have searched the web but most examples are just for linux and only seem to do part of the job.
The rationalefor my solution is outlined below.
I think my solution is a bit rough around the edges butpointing in the right direction.For example:
If I have a path like /usr/local/include/boost-1_33_1/boost
How can I get the /usr/local part so I can append /lib to it?
The problem is that I could have a paths like:
/user/local/include/boost/user/include/boost-1_33_1/boost
/user/local/include/boostC:\boost\include\boostC:\boost\include\boost\boost-1_33_1\boost
My problem is that I want to set up a BOOST_INCLUDE_PATH (easy, just look for a file like config.hpp).
The hard part is determining the library path it is either:
${BOOST_INCLUDE_PATH}/../../../lib
or
${BOOST_INCLUDE_PATH}/../../lib
You can see from the attached code that I used a series of IF ( EXISTS ...
Is this the best way to do this?
If people have comments or can improve on it, I would welcomeany input!

This will definately be a useful contribution.
I have had a go at writing a FindBoost.cmake file (attached). It tries

windows is that there is no default library path.
Is there a better way of doing this for both windows and linux? I have

Does Boost suggest that any environment variables be set for its
location? Does it set any registry entries on Windows?
The rationale for my solution is outlined below.
I think my solution is a bit rough around the edges but pointing in the
right direction. For example:
If I have a path like /usr/local/include/boost-1_33_1/boost
How can I get the /usr/local part so I can append /lib to it?
Using GET_FILENAME_COMPONENT is fine, but you may not need to strip as
much as you are now.
The problem is that I could have a paths like:
/user/local/include/boost
/user/include/boost-1_33_1/boost
/user/local/include/boost
C:\boost\include\boost
C:\boost\include\boost\boost-1_33_1\boost
My problem is that I want to set up a BOOST_INCLUDE_PATH (easy, just
look for a file like config.hpp).
The hard part is determining the library path it is either:
${BOOST_INCLUDE_PATH}/../../../lib
or
${BOOST_INCLUDE_PATH}/../../lib
What determines during boost installation which of these paths is used?
I'm guessing it is whether the version number was included in the
install directory..
You can see from the attached code that I used a series of IF ( EXISTS ...
Is this the best way to do this?
# Usage:
# In your CMakeLists.txt file do something like this:
# ...
# # Boost
# INCLUDE(FindBoost.cmake)
This should be
FIND_PACKAGE(Boost)
The module should also pay attention to the variable
Boost_FIND_REQUIRED. If it is set and boost is not found it should exit
with a MESSAGE(FATAL_ERROR ...). The variable is set by the
FIND_PACKAGE command when it loads the module if it is called like this:
FIND_PACKAGE(Boost REQUIRED)
For finding the include path, look at the PATH_SUFFIXES option of the
FIND_PATH command. You should be able to find the headers like this:
FIND_PATH(BOOST_INCLUDE_DIR
NAMES boost/config.hpp
PATH_SUFFIXES boost-1_33_1 ...)
Then you will not need to strip the boost/ part of the path, and the
sub-path boost-1_33_1 will be searched underneath every other search
path specified. Then you can use code like
IF(${BOOST_INCLUDE_DIR} MATCHES boost-[0-9]+_[0-9]+)
to test how many levels need to be stripped to find the PREFIX/lib
directory.
