Boost log, GCC 4.4 and CMake

Question

I am trying to get a simple boost.log example running on Linux using GCC 4.4.5, CMake 2.8.2 and Boost 1.53.0.

Compiling boost and boost log succeeded, but I keep getting

Answer 1

It seems like boost.log depends on boost.thread library then you need change order of libraries. See why link order does matter

Try following order

find_package(Boost 1.53.0 COMPONENTS log log_setup thread date_time filesystem system REQUIRED)

if it will not help try include them two times as following

link_libraries(${CMAKE_THREAD_LIBS_INIT} ${Boost_LIBRARIES} ${Boost_LIBRARIES})
