How do you add Boost libraries in CMakeLists.txt?

by

Put this in your CMakeLists.txt file (change any options from OFF to ON if you want):

set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS OFF) 
set(Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED ON)  
set(Boost_USE_STATIC_RUNTIME OFF) 
find_package(Boost 1.45.0 COMPONENTS *boost libraries here*) 

if(Boost_FOUND)
    include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS}) 
    add_executable(progname file1.cxx file2.cxx) 
    target_link_libraries(progname ${Boost_LIBRARIES})
endif()

Obviously you need to put the libraries you want where I put *boost libraries here*. For example, if you’re using the filesystem and regex library you’d write:

find_package(Boost 1.45.0 COMPONENTS filesystem regex)
