CMake - Could NOT find Boost (missing: serialization) (found version “1.73.0”

问题

I've been using Boost with my project for a while now, though until now, I'd only used the header-only libraries. I now want to use serialization, but when I try to add serialization as a REQUIRED component, I get the error written in the title.

Here is my CMAKE file:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.15)
project(GinRummyCPP)

SET(CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH ${CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH} "D:/Program Files/boost/boost_1_73_0")
SET(CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH ${CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH} "D:/Program Files/boost/boost_1_73_0/libs")
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)
find_package(Boost COMPONENTS serialization)
add_executable(GinRummyCPP main.cpp)
if(Boost_FOUND)
    include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
    target_link_libraries(GinRummyCPP ${Boost_LIBRARIES})
endif()

I've checked my Boost folder, and serialization is at "D:\Program Files\boost\boost_1_73_0\libs\serialization"

I've tried setting BOOST_ROOT and other relevant variables, but nothing seems to work.

Here is the full error produced when loading the CMake file

Not sure if it's relevant, but I'm using CLion as my IDE and mingw-w64 as my compiler.

回答1:

I ended up using a C++ package manager called vcpkg to install Boost:x64-windows, and Boost and the appropriate components were properly found after that. The instructions for how to install it can be found here: https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg

After installing it, 64 bit Boost can be installed with the following command:

.\vcpkg.exe install boost:x64-windows

I still don't know what the original issue with CMake was, and I'm sure there was a way to fix it without using a package manager, but this is a solution for those that are okay with using a package manager.

EDIT

Found out this still didn't completely resolve my issue, and led to other problems. I found a complete solution that doesn't use a package manager and posted it in my answer to this question: Undefined reference errors in simple boost serialization
