[Boost-users] Boost.CMake's boost_add_executable

Hi,

I've read http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/CMakeAddExecutable and
try to use it - and it doesn't work correct. This macros isn't used in
the boost cmake build (in real there isn't a wave example as the web
page promised)!

Anyway, I've got the linker error:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_program_options-static

It should look for libboost_program_options-gcc41-mt-1_34! The part
responsible is at tools/build/CMake/BoostCore.cmake:

else (LIB MATCHES ".*-.*")
        # The user has given the name of just the library target,
        # e.g., "boost_filesystem". We add on the appropriate variant
        # name(s).
        list(APPEND THIS_EXE_ACTUAL_DEPENDS "${LIB}${VARIANT_TARGET_NAME}")
        list(APPEND THIS_EXE_RELEASE_ACTUAL_DEPENDS
"${LIB}${RELEASE_VARIANT_TARGET_NAME}")
        list(APPEND THIS_EXE_DEBUG_ACTUAL_DEPENDS
"${LIB}${DEBUG_VARIANT_TARGET_NAME}")
endif (LIB MATCHES ".*-.*")

using:

boost_add_executable(...
  DEPENDS boost_program_options-gcc41-mt-1_34 ...
  )

works!

Did I something wrong or is there an error inside boost's BoostConfig.cmake?

Thanks,
Olaf
