[CMake] Fw : Linking boost failure

[Michael Jackson]

Are you using the FindBoost() command in your CMakeLists.txt file? If  
not you really should be as this will solve all your problems. An  
example from one of my own projects is:

SET (Boost_FIND_REQUIRED TRUE)
SET (Boost_FIND_QUIETLY FALSE)
FIND_PACKAGE(Boost 1.36 COMPONENTS program_options system filesystem)
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})  # Include the Boost Headers
LINK_DIRECTORIES(${Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS})

.....

ADD_EXECUTABLE(PVPluginGenerator ${SOURCES} ${HEADERS})
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(PVPluginGenerator  ${Boost_LIBRARIES})

Boost_LIBRARIES will contain all the selected boost libraries for each  
platform you compile on.
