CMake is not able to find BOOST libraries

问题:

I tried everything like:

1. Configure environment variable
2. Make fresh build
3. Re-install BOOST from source
4. sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev

But still getting following Errors:

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:1131 (message):
 Unable to find the requested Boost libraries.

 Unable to find the Boost header files.  Please set BOOST_ROOT to the root
 directory containing Boost or BOOST_INCLUDEDIR to the directory containing
 Boost's headers.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
   CMakeLists.txt:147 (find_package)


CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:1131 (message):

Source code directory for boost: /usr/local/src/boost_1_45_0 Boost Library path: /usr/local/lib Boost Header file: /usr/local/include/boost

Here is bashrc file:

BOOST_ROOT="/usr/local/src/boost_1_45_0"
Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS="/usr/local/lib"
BOOST_INCLUDEDIR="/usr/local/src/boost_1_45_0"

How to solve these Errors? Am i missing something?

Edit:

cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$ANDTOOLCHAIN -DBOOST_ROOT=/usr/local/src/boost_1_45_0 -DBOOST_INCLUDEDIR=/usr/local/include/boost -DBOOST_LIBRARYDIR=/usr/local/lib -DPYTHON_LIBRARIES=/usr/local/lib/python2.7 -DPYTHON_INCLUDE_DIRS=/usr/include/python2.7 -DCMA-DRDK_BUILD_PYTHON_WRAPPERS=

Try to complete cmake process with following libs:

sudo apt-get install cmake libblkid-dev e2fslibs-dev libboost-all-dev libaudit-dev

I'm using this to set up boost from cmake in my CMakeLists.txt. Try something similar (make sure to update paths to your installation of boost).

SET (BOOST_ROOT "/opt/boost/boost_1_57_0")
SET (BOOST_INCLUDEDIR "/opt/boost/boost-1.57.0/include")
SET (BOOST_LIBRARYDIR "/opt/boost/boost-1.57.0/lib")

SET (BOOST_MIN_VERSION "1.55.0")
set (Boost_NO_BOOST_CMAKE ON)
FIND_PACKAGE(Boost ${BOOST_MIN_VERSION} REQUIRED)
if (NOT Boost_FOUND)
  message(FATAL_ERROR "Fatal error: Boost (version >= 1.55) required.")
else()
  message(STATUS "Setting up BOOST")
  message(STATUS " Includes - ${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS}")
  message(STATUS " Library  - ${Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS}")
  include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
  link_directories(${Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS})
endif (NOT Boost_FOUND)

This will either search default paths (/usr, /usr/local) or the path provided through the cmake variables (BOOST_ROOT, BOOST_INCLUDEDIR, BOOST_LIBRARYDIR). It works for me on cmake > 2.6.

seems the answer is in the comments and as an edit but to clarify this should work for you:

export BUILDDIR='your path to  build directory here'
export SRCDIR='your path to source dir here'
export BOOST_ROOT="/opt/boost/boost_1_57_0"
export BOOST_INCLUDE="/opt/boost/boost-1.57.0/include"
export BOOST_LIBDIR="/opt/boost/boost-1.57.0/lib"
export BOOST_OPTS="-DBOOST_ROOT=${BOOST_ROOT} -DBOOST_INCLUDEDIR=${BOOST_INCLUDE} -DBOOST_LIBRARYDIR=${BOOST_LIBDIR}"
(cd ${BUILDDIR} && cmake ${BOOST_OPTS} ${SRCDIR})

you need to specify the arguments as command line arguments or you can use a toolchain file for that, but cmake will not touch your environment variables.

I just want to point out that the FindBoost macro might be looking for an earlier version, for instance, 1.58.0 when you might have 1.60.0 installed. I suggest popping open the FindBoost macro from whatever it is you are attempting to build, and checking if that's the case. You can simply edit it to include your particular version. (This was my problem.)

Thanks Paul-g for your advise. For my part it was a bit different.

I installed Boost by following the Step 5 of : https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_59_0/more/getting_started/unix-variants.html

And then I add PATH directory in the "FindBoos.cmake", located in /usr/local/share/cmake-3.5/Modules :

SET (BOOST_ROOT "../boost_1_60_0")
SET (BOOST_INCLUDEDIR "../boost_1_60_0/boost")
SET (BOOST_LIBRARYDIR "../boost_1_60_0/libs")

SET (BOOST_MIN_VERSION "1.55.0")
set (Boost_NO_BOOST_CMAKE ON)

I got the same error the first time I wanted to install LightGBM on python (GPU version).

You can simply fix it with this command line :

sudo apt-get install cmake libblkid-dev e2fslibs-dev libboost-all-dev libaudit-dev

the boost libraries will be installed and you'll be fine to continue your installation process.
