Hi,

I've got problems compiling a program using boost with CMake (using 
Windows and MinGW 4.7.2, with -G "MinGW Makefiles"). Boost is compiled 
normaly with b2.exe --toolset=gcc --prefix=C:\cppLib\boost_1_55_0 and 
the folder seems to contain the right files. The original CMake-File 
compiled fine using Ubuntu. I've got a code using only boost::log and a 
CMake File containing the following boost-related-code:

ADD_DEFINITIONS("-std=c++0x")
SET(BOOST_ROOT "C:/cppLib/boost_1_55_0/")
link_libraries (${Boost_LIBRARIES})

find_package( Boost 1.54.0 COMPONENTS log)

if(Boost_FOUND)
MESSAGE("Boost found")
include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
add_executable(Hasselbrack ${AUTO_SOURCES})
endif()

This code works right, but when I call make, I get the following errors:

C:/cppLib/boost_1_55_0/boost/log/expressions/formatters/c_decorator.hpp:21:0,

I tried to figure it out, the lines in snprintf are the following:

using ::snprintf;
using ::vsnprintf;

but I can't find an error in this. The Include in the beginning of the file:

#ifdef BOOST_LOG_USE_WCHAR_T
#include <wchar.h>
#endif // BOOST_LOG_USE_WCHAR_T

seems to be exectued right (according to 
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7990989775/xsh/wchar.h.html, 
snprintf is declared here). If I don't use 
ADD_DEFINITIONS("-std=c++0x"), I got the following errors:

CMakeFiles\Hasselbrack.dir/objects.a(main.cpp.obj):main.cpp:(.text+0x12c): 
undefined reference to `boost::log::v2s_mt_nt5::core::get()'

c:/mingw/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.7.2/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: 
final link failed: Invalid operation

But nevertheless, boost is found and I can't figure out CMake seems to 
be unable to link it. The output of $(Boost_LIBRARIES) from CMake also 
seems correct: 
C:/cppLib/boost_1_55_0/stage/lib/libboost_log-mgw47-mt-1_55.dll . So I 
got no clue anymore what I could try.

Has anybody an hint how to solve this?
