FindBoost now attempts to find Boost using find_package(Boost NO_MODULE)
before it does a module mode search.
User can now set any of these to Boost's install prefix to detect it in module
or config mode:
- Boost_DIR for consistency with other CMake modules
- BOOST_ROOT or BOOSTROOT for adherence to boost convention
Workaround an issue where users wanted to use Boost_LIBRARIES with the
install() command and debug/optimized keywords were interfering. Now
debug/optimized keywords are removed if the release & debug library
are the same.
There is no need to introduce this extra variable as FindBoost
can simply rely on if Boost_USE_STATIC_RUNTIME is defined
or not to disable the old searching behavior for static runtime
libraries on WIN32.
Add Boost_REALPATH option for people packaging Boost with their app:
Boost_REALPATH Resolves symbolic links for discovered boost libraries
to assist with packaging. For example, instead of
Boost_SYSTEM_LIBRARY_RELEASE being resolved to
"/usr/lib/libboost_system.so" it would be
"/usr/lib/libboost_system.so.1.42.0" instead.
This does not affect linking and should not be
enabled unless the user needs this information.
* Add a warning if the user sets Boost_ROOT which is not correct
* Clarify directions to the user for viewing debugging messages
* Move the CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_SUFFIXES tweak outside of a for loop
* Fixed issue 11204: FindBoost.cmake had trouble discovering libraries
when both -sgd and -gd libraries were available by adding a new option
Boost_USE_STATIC_RUNTIME.
Backwards compatibility of searching for first -gd and then -sgd on
WIN32 is maintained unless the user sets Boost_COMPAT_STATIC_RUNTIME to
false (or they have set Boost_USE_STATIC_RUNTIME).
* Fixed issue 8529: FindBoost was unable to detect boost libraries compiled against
STLport, by reworking the way the Boost ABI tag is calculated. There are additional
ABI tag options available now as well.
* Boost_DEBUG now reports the full list of filenames being searched for when
find_library is called.
1. Add STATUS output "Could NOT find Boost" if boost is not found
which brings FindBoost closer in behavior to most CMake find modules.
2. Add an option: Boost_DETAILED_FAILURE_MSG to output
Boost_ERROR_REASON on a non-REQUIRED find if this
is desired by the developer. This is done because the error messages
are rather long and software with optional Boost dependencies might
not like them showing up by default, especially since this wasn't done
before.
3. Add mention of Boost_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS close to top
of file since this seems to be the most common problem brought
up on the mailing list (maybe people will notice it there)
4. Added additional check for intel compiler which probably isn't
necessary but ultimately should be cleaner if CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_ID
sticks around.
5. Added my name to the Copyright list
This adds copyright/license notification blocks CMake's find-modules.
Many of the modules had no notices at all. Some had notices referring
to the BSD license already. This commit normalizes existing notices and
adds missing notices.
