Dear cmake community
I can't make CMake find the built boost libraries on Windows. At this line:
find_package(Boost REQUIRED COMPONENTS thread)
I get this error message:
'Unable to find the requested Boost libraries.
Boost version: 1.67.0
Boost include path: C:/download/boost/boost_1_67_0
Could not find the following static Boost libraries:
boost_thread
Some (but not all) of the required Boost libraries were found. You may
need to install these additional Boost libraries. Alternatively, set
BOOST_LIBRARYDIR to the directory containing Boost libraries or
BOOST_ROOT
to the location of Boost.'
Other facts and observations:
* Error both observed with stand alone Cmake 3.12, and the version cmake
3.11 that ships with VS2017.
* VS2017 version 15.7.5 (currently the latest)
* The same error with older Boost versions 1.65.x or 1.66
* Building and linking the same program using VS2017 without cmake works
fine.
* It's not only threat that has the problem. Tested also date_time and
chrono with same errors.
* Building a program with cmake that only requires boost
headers-only-libs works fine.
* Building the same project on linux works fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Soren
