Summary0008395: FindBoost.cmake may not always autodetect compiler tag for Intel C++ / Linux properly
DescriptionAt some point in the past Boost started adding versioning information to libraries built with Intel C++ compiler on Linux. The existing FindBoost.cmake does not include support for detecting this.

It appears that the encoding of the Linux Intel C++ compiler version number into the Boost library filename depends on how you build boost with bjam.

bjam toolset=intel-11.0 =>
   libboost_program_options-il110-mt-1_37.so
bjam toolset=intel =>
   libboost_program_options-il-mt-1_37.so

Since this isn't as clear cut as the GCC encoding (which seems to be something of a default when building Boost) I'm going to leave the default as "-il" and let the user override Boost_COMPILER as necessary. Ideally we would be able to search multiple compiler flags but this isn't possible at the moment.

Should someone need to autodetect the majorminor version number of ICC they can use the same code that calls gcc -dumpversion to get the proper value to insert into Boost_COMPILER (i.e. -il110 or -il90 etc.)

Some additional support was added to FindBoost as released in CMake 2.6.3 to help with picking the right suffix. It still might get it wrong however depending on how Boost is built. If you have problems, use Boost_COMPILER to override.

    elseif("${CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER}" MATCHES "icl"
        OR "${CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER}" MATCHES "icpc")
      if(WIN32)
        set (_boost_COMPILER "-iw")
      else()
        set (_boost_COMPILER "-il")
      endif()
