Problem with linking Boost 1.79 libs, builded with MinGW GCC, with CMake on Windows-CodePudding

I'm using Boost 1.79 and Windows 10. For building Boost libs I use TDM MinGW. After trying to build my test program with CMake, I get next error:

CMake Error at D:/CMake/share/cmake-3.24/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:230 (message):
  Could NOT find Boost (missing: log thread) (found suitable version
  "1.79.0", minimum required is "1.79")
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  D:/CMake/share/cmake-3.24/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:594 (_FPHSA_FAILURE_MESSAGE)
  D:/CMake/share/cmake-3.24/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:2376 (find_package_handle_standard_args)
  CMakeLists.txt:16 (find_package)

My CMakeLists.txt:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.24)

set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 20)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON)
#set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER "D:/TDM-MinGW/bin/gcc.exe")
#set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER "D:/TDM-MinGW/bin/g  .exe")
set(Boost_DEBUG=ON)
set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS       ON)
set(Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED      ON)
set(Boost_USE_STATIC_RUNTIME    OFF)

project (testlib)

find_package(Boost 1.79 COMPONENTS log thread REQUIRED)

IF(Boost_FOUND)

include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIR})
link_directories(${Boost_LIBRARY_DIR})

Boost libs were compiled by following command:

./b2 --build-type=complete -j 8 variant=debug address-model=64 link=static toolset=gcc install

CodePudding user response：

Well, I solve my problem by setting Boost_DEBUG to ON. After analyzing debug info it became clear that the problem was two empty variables: Boost_COMPILER and Boost_ARCHITECTURE. And to solve the problem i just set these variables by looking at the full filename, for example:

We have filename libboost_log-clang14-mt-x32-1_79.lib, and we need this parts: -clang14 and -x32. You should look at this parts at your filename and set this parts as CMake variables:

Boost_ARCHITECTURE = -x32

Boost_COMPILER = -clang14
