Linking Boost thread library

Question

I am trying to include Boost\'s thread library in my C++ project. My CMake file is like so:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.6)
project(LearningC)

find_pack         


        

Answer 1

I found a solution. Basically, Boost has most of its code in C++ headers (.hpp). Some of the libraries however need to be compiled and linked... The code below works!

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.6)
project(LearningC)

set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11)

set(SOURCE_FILES main.cpp Student.cpp Student.h)

add_executable(LearningC ${SOURCE_FILES})

find_package(Boost COMPONENTS thread system REQUIRED)

include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIR})
target_link_libraries(LearningC ${Boost_LIBRARIES})
