CMake does not find Boost.FileSystem in docker images

Question

Hi,

I run some Integration Tests for my project 'Spacy' with FEniCS on travis with your (awesome!) docker-image. Since 4 days cmake-configuration fails with:
Target "FEniCS_vector" links to target "Boost::filesystem" but the target
was not found. Perhaps a find_package() call is missing for an IMPORTED
target, or an ALIAS target is missing?

I can reproduce this locally with the current docker image, with an other version that is about 3 weeks old everything works fine.
Should I just upload the image I have on my local machine or are there better ways to solve this?

Best Regards

Lars

Which docker image is this? Can you show us a minimal complete example that reproduces the problem?

It is stable:latest (docker pull quay.io/fenicsproject/stable:latest). I don't have much time today and tomorrow, but I will provide a minimal example later this week.

Here is my minimal example:

CMakeLists.txt:

project(fenics-test)

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.1)

find_package(DOLFIN REQUIRED)

include_directories(${DOLFIN_INCLUDE_DIRS})
include_directories(SYSTEM ${DOLFIN_3RD_PARTY_INCLUDE_DIRS})
add_definitions(${DOLFIN_CXX_DEFINITIONS})

add_executable(run main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(run ${DOLFIN_LIBRARIES})

main.cpp:

include <dolfin.h>

int main(){}

and the script that is run in docker,
compile.sh:

!/bin/bash

mkdir -p build && cd build && cmake ..

From your comment above, I see that you are missing include(${DOLFIN_USE_FILE}) after find_package(DOLFIN REQUIRED). Add that and it should work.

See also the CMakeLists.txt files in the demo directory for how to build against DOLFIN.

Thx, for spotting my mistake. I checked and it works now.
