Emscripten: compiled boost libraries, how to make cmake see them? [duplicate] - boost

Possible causes for Boost not being found by CMake in certain situations?

Closed 3 months ago.
Consider the following minimal example:
CMakeLists.txt contains:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.22)
project(Minexample)
find_package(ZLIB)
if(ZLIB_FOUND)
add_definitions(-DHAVE_LIBZ)
include_directories(${ZLIB_INCLUDE_DIR})
endif()
# tell cmake to search boost in the directory /home/hiisi/workspace/boost-1_75_0
set(Boost_NO_SYSTEM_PATHS ON)
set(BOOST_ROOT "/home/hiisi/workspace/boost-1_75_0")
set(Boost_INCLUDE_DIR "/home/hiisi/workspace/boost-1_75_0")
#set(BOOST_LIBRARYDIR "/home/hiisi/workspace/boost-1_75_0/lib")
set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON)
set(Boost_DEBUG ON)
#set(Boost_COMPILER -emscripten-3.1.24)
#set(Boost_toolset emscripten-3.1.24)
set(Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED ON)
set(Boost_USE_STATIC_RUNTIME ON)
set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON)
set(Boost_DETAILED_FAILURE_MSG ON)
Set(Boost_LIB_PREFIX "lib")
find_package(Boost COMPONENTS program_options iostreams system)
#find_package(Boost)
if(Boost_FOUND)
include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS} ${Boost_INCLUDE_DIR})
endif()
This is how I feed it to make:
emcmake cmake . -DZLIB_INCLUDE_DIR=/home/hiisi/workspace/zlib -DZLIB_LIBRARY=/home/hiisi/workspace/zlib/libz.a
Here's the output of the above command:

-- Could NOT find Boost (missing: program_options iostreams system) (found version "1.75.0")

Here's the directory listing of /home/hiisi/workspace/boost-1_75_0/lib:
cmake libboost_filesystem.a libboost_filesystem.bc libboost_iostreams.a libboost_iostreams.bc libboost_program_options.a libboost_program_options.bc
Those .a files were created by running emar q lib.a lib.bc command. Why is it that my zlib is being recognized but not boost? This is how I compiled boost:
emconfigure ./b2 toolset=emscripten link=static runtime-link=static threading=multi --prefix=/home/hiisi/workspace/boost-1_75_0 --with-program_options --with-iostreams --with-filesystem
And:
/b2 install --prefix=/home/hiisi/workspace/boost-1_75_0

Answer 1

you can try this:
find_package(Boost 1.75 REQUIRED COMPONENTS
program_options
iostreams
system)
if (NOT Boost_FOUND)
message("Not found Boost!")
elseif (Boost_FOUND)
message("Found Boost!"" Version:" ${Boost_VERSION})
include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIR})
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} ${Boost_LIBRARIES})
endif()
And this is a link about CMake FindBoost.
