boost.cmake¶

Detect, build, and link Boost libraries. This modules downloads the .zip archive from SourceForge at Autocmake update time. Note that the build-up commands are not Windows-compatible!

Your autocmake.yml should look like this:

- boost:

major: 1

minor: 59

patch: 0

components: “chrono;timer;system”

source: “https://github.com/dev-cafe/autocmake/raw/master/modules/boost/boost.cmake”

Cross-dependencies between required components are not checked for. For example, Boost.Timer depends on Boost.Chrono and Boost.System thus you should ask explicitly for all three. If the self-build of Boost components is triggered the BUILD_CUSTOM_BOOST variable is set to TRUE. The CMake target custom_boost is also added. You should use these two to ensure the right dependencies between your targets and the Boost headers/libraries, in case the self-build is triggered. For example:

if(BUILD_CUSTOM_BOOST)
  add_dependencies(your_target custom_boost)
endif()

will ensure that your_target is built after custom_boost if and only if the self-build of Boost took place. This is an important step to avoid race conditions when building on multiple processes.

Dependencies:

mpi                        - Only if the Boost.MPI library is a needed component
python_libs                - Only if the Boost.Python library is a needed component

Variables used:

BOOST_MINIMUM_REQUIRED     - Minimum required version of Boost
BOOST_COMPONENTS_REQUIRED  - Components (compiled Boost libraries) required
PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR
PROJECT_BINARY_DIR
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE
MPI_FOUND
BUILD_CUSTOM_BOOST
