[CMake] Problems with CMake and Boost in Ubuntu 9.04

[Mike Jackson]

Isn't there a static library for the unit-testing also:
libboost_test_exec_monitor-xgcc42-mt-1_39 which also needs to be
linked. That library is only static so it may not be picked up by the
-DBOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK flag. For my unit testing I usually have the
following:

SET (TEST_Boost_LIBS ${Boost_TEST_EXEC_MONITOR_LIBRARY} )
    ADD_EXECUTABLE(MXAFileReaderWriterTest ${FILEREADERWRITER_TEST_SRCS})
    TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES (MXAFileReaderWriterTest ${TEST_Boost_LIBS} )
    ADD_TEST(MXAFileReaderWriterTest
${CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY}/MXAFileReaderWriterTest)

Hope that helps.

Also, are you manually finding the boost installation or using the
FindPackage. Something like:

# ---------- Find Boost Headers/Libraries -----------------------
SET (Boost_FIND_REQUIRED TRUE)
SET (Boost_FIND_QUIETLY TRUE)
set (Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED TRUE)
set (Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS TRUE)
SET (Boost_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS "1.39" "1.39.0")

if ( NOT MXA_BOOST_HEADERS_ONLY)
 set (MXA_BOOST_COMPONENTS program_options unit_test_framework
test_exec_monitor)
endif()

FIND_PACKAGE(Boost COMPONENTS  ${MXA_BOOST_COMPONENTS} )
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
LINK_DIRECTORIES(${Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS})
