No rule to make target '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_filesystem.so`

I have a project I'm working on, and I can't get cmake to work after trying to add in some boost functionality. I type

cd build/manual/
cmake ../..
make && make install

and I get the following error:

taylor@taylor-XPS-13-9365:~/markets/build/manual$ make && make install

This project has several CMakeLists.txt files because there is 1.) a main executable markets/src/main.cpp, 2.) a static library, and 3.) some unit tests in markets/test/.

First, there's markets/CMakeLists.txt:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)

set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11 ) # used to be 17
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -O3")
#set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER /usr/bin/g++-8) # this is now set externally!
set(CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR})

set(MARKETS_INSTALL_INCLUDE_DIR ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/include)
set(MARKETS_INSTALL_BIN_DIR ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/bin)
set(MARKETS_INSTALL_LIB_DIR ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/lib)
set(MARKETS_HEADERS_DIR ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/src/markets)

include_directories(${MARKETS_INSTALL_INCLUDE_DIR})
include_directories(${MARKETS_HEADERS_DIR})

add_subdirectory(src)
add_subdirectory(test)

then there's markets/src/CMakeLists.txt (I think this is the one with the problem)

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)
project(run_backtest)

add_subdirectory(markets)
set(SOURCE_FILES main.cpp)

find_package (Eigen3 3.3 REQUIRED NO_MODULE)
find_library(mysqlcppconn 1.1.12 REQUIRED)
find_package(Boost 1.65.1 REQUIRED COMPONENTS system filesystem)

include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
add_executable(run_backtest ${SOURCE_FILES})
target_link_libraries(run_backtest markets Eigen3::Eigen mysqlcppconn ${Boost_LIBRARIES})

install(TARGETS run_backtest DESTINATION ${MARKETS_INSTALL_BIN_DIR})

and then there's markets/src/markets/CMakeLists.txt

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)
project(markets)### C CXX)

set(SOURCE_FILES
    data_handlers.h
    data_handlers.cpp

    pnl_calculator.h

)

#set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS OFF)
#set(Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED ON) # maybe off?
#set(Boost_USE_STATIC_RUNTIME OFF)

find_package(Boost 1.65.1 REQUIRED COMPONENTS system filesystem)
find_package (Eigen3 3.3 REQUIRED NO_MODULE)
find_library(mysqlcppconn 1.1.12 REQUIRED)

include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
link_directories( ${Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS})

add_library(markets SHARED STATIC ${SOURCE_FILES})
target_link_libraries(markets Eigen3::Eigen mysqlcppconn, ${Boost_LIBRARIES})

# not sure if i need this
target_link_libraries( markets ${Boost_FILESYSTEM_LIBRARY}, ${Boost_SYSTEM_LIBRARY})

install(TARGETS markets DESTINATION ${MARKETS_INSTALL_LIB_DIR})

I'm pretty sure this file that it's complaining about exists, so I'm not sure what to do:

Solution

  • Your problem is caused by the comma after the filename ('/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_filesystem.so,'). You should remove the commas separating arguments in your CMake function calls (just leave some whitespace between them).
