I'm trying to compile a little boost::logger
demo application using cmake
but my paths aren't being interpreted correctly.
This is what I have:
logger.cpp
:
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/fusion/iterator/equal_to.hpp>
#include <boost/log/core.hpp>
#include <boost/log/trivial.hpp>
#include <boost/log/expressions.hpp>
namespace logging = boost::log;
namespace src = boost::log::sources;
namespace sinks = boost::log::sinks;
namespace keywords = boost::log::keywords;
namespace expr = boost::log::expressions;
void init()
{
logging::add_file_log("sample.log");
logging::core::get()->set_filter
(
logging::trivial::severity >= logging::trivial::info
);
}
int main(void) {
init();
std::cout <<"Hello World!";
CMakeLists.txt
:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6)
project(LOGGER)

set(BOOST_ROOT "/path/to/env/include")

target_link_libraries(logger Boost::boost ${Boost_LIBRARIES})

CMake Warning (dev) at CMakeLists.txt:11 (ADD_EXECUTABLE):
Policy CMP0028 is not set: Double colon in target name means ALIAS or
IMPORTED target. Run "cmake --help-policy CMP0028" for policy details.
Use the cmake_policy command to set the policy and suppress this warning.
Target "logger" links to target "Boost::boost" but the target was not
found. Perhaps a find_package() call is missing for an IMPORTED target, or
an ALIAS target is missing?
This warning is for project developers. Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.

even though equal_to.hpp
is located in the specified directory:
$ ls -l /path/to/env/include/boost/fusion/iterator/equal_to.hpp

What am I doing wrong here? And how can I fix it?
Seems like you're not actually including the directory where boost is located. Try adding e.g. this line after setting the directory variable:
target_include_directories(logger BOOST_INCLUDEDIR)
You might also want to consider adding boost as imported target like so:
find_package(Boost REQUIRED)
add_library(boost INTERFACE IMPORTED)
set_property(TARGET boost PROPERTY
INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES ${Boost_INCLUDE_DIR})
This way the correct directories will be included on linking with boost libraries. Above way to include Boost in project is shamelessly copied from this cmake guide.
