I am using CLion on OS X 10.10.5 (Yosemite) and trying to use the logging boost (1.58.0) library.
I installed boost using brew install boost. I checked that the boost libraries are 64-bit and so is my executable.
My CMakeLists.txt looks like this:
set(CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE on)
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.3)
project(gmch)
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -std=c++11")
set(Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED ON)
find_package(Boost 1.58.0 COMPONENTS log REQUIRED)
include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIR})
set(SOURCE_FILES main.cpp util/timing.hpp)
add_executable(gmch ${SOURCE_FILES})
target_link_libraries(gmch ${Boost_LIBRARIES})
My main.cpp looks like this:
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/log/trivial.hpp>
int main() {
BOOST_LOG_TRIVIAL(trace) << "A trace severity message";
std::cout << "Hello, World!" << std::endl;
return 0;
}
I get the following output when building:

How can I link to the boost libraries?
EDIT 1:
Here are the BOOST variable values from CMake:
Boost Include: /usr/local/include
Boost Libraries: /usr/local/lib
Boost Libraries: /usr/local/lib/libboost_log-mt.dylib
Therefore it actually finds the libraries...
EDIT 2:
If I do $file /usr/local/lib/libboost_log-mt.dylib, I get
/usr/local/lib/libboost_log-mt.dylib: Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library x86_64
So this library is an x86_64 library, which is correct because I am also building my app as a 64 bit app.
EDIT 3:
I checked that boost is built against the libc++ library, and not libstdc++. This seems to be the default now when installing with homebrew. So this should not be a problem. I noticed some older discussions regarding this issue on older versions of OS X, but this does not seem to be an issue anymore.
You have to set #define BOOST_LOG_DYN_LINK 1, this can be done with cmake using add_definitions(-DBOOST_LOG_DYN_LINK=1).
Reading the output makes my suspicion clearer, it doesn't link with any Boost libraries, because you haven't added any Boost libraries to your find_package command.
You need to explicitly list the libraries you want to find and use in the find_package command.
