Don't have much experience with boost in combination with cmake, but don't you still need to add the boost libraries in a target_link_libraries() command? (Or whatever command is usedbto indicate the libraries to link with). A On Apr 30, 2012 2:49 PM, "Hui Wang" wrote:

Hello,

I'm using CMake generated Visual Studio solution, and I added boost with find_package(Boost), before that I used commands: set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON) set(Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED ON) set(Boost_USE_STATIC_RUNTIME OFF) after that I used commands: include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIR}) add_executable( MyProject src/main.cpp)

Because automatic linking is used on Visual Studio when including Boost, and it typically use static libraries, I try not to conflict with that. But I get the error: LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_thread-vc100-mt-gd-1_47.lib'

I installed pre-compiled binary Boost with the installer provided by BoostPro Computing, and I checked to find that I do have libboost_thread-vc100-mt-gd-1_47.lib, libboost_thread-vc100-mt-s-1_47.lib libboost_thread-vc100-mt-sgd-1_47.lib libboost_thread-vc100-mt-1_47.lib in C:\Program Files\boost\boost_1_47\lib

I also output messages to find that Boost_FOUND=TRUE Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS=C:/Program Files/boost/boost_1_47/lib Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS=C:/Program Files/boost/boost_1_47

So I'm confused why it has the link error. I tried with dynamically linking too, it can't find the .dll files at runtime either, but again they exist right there in the directory I installed boost. Could anyone help me understand where the problem is?
