Missing boost package configuration files when building on ubuntu 20.04

Missing boost package configuration files when building on ubuntu 20.04

Closed this issue 3 years ago · 7 comments

I get CMake errors complaining about missing package configuration files for boost_program_options and boost_unit_test_frameworks when building proxy-fmu on ubuntu 20.04. The files are found if I install the dev version of the missing packages on my system.

Shouldn't this be handled by conan?

`CMake Error at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/Boost-1.71.0/BoostConfig.cmake:117 (find_package):
Could not find a package configuration file provided by
"boost_unit_test_framework" (requested version 1.71.0) with any of the
following names:

boost_unit_test_frameworkConfig.cmake
boost_unit_test_framework-config.cmake

Add the installation prefix of "boost_unit_test_framework" to
CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "boost_unit_test_framework_DIR" to a directory
containing one of the above files. If "boost_unit_test_framework" provides
a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed.

CMake version?

I assume you are trying to run the tests and have set PROXYFMU_BUILD_TESTS=ON (otherwise it should not look for boost.test)

CMake version 3.16.0

Building with both tests and examples

Care to test with a more recent cmake version? Alternatively figure out how to make it work on older versions and then we could add an if/else for linking.

Mhh, I think the github ubuntu runner uses 3.12, so that might not be it..

I just added a 20.04 runner at it seems fine. So I don't know what is happening on your end.

Well, I always seem to have trouble building 😄

Looks like the find_package function peeks at my system level installations instead of conan's data folder. Only for boost though.

Ok, so I tried to remove boost from my system. Then cmake looks in conan's data folder instead. Seems like it prioritizes system wide installations first.
