Summary: FindBoost with component thread does not properly
link with boost_system
Description:
When just finding the thread component of Boost it appears that one also has to
link with boost_system. From the Boost documentation it looks like this change
was introduced with version 1.52 (see
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_52_0/doc/html/thread/build.html).
Steps to Reproduce:
FIND_PACKAGE(Boost COMPONENTS thread)
target_link_libraries(my_target ${Boost_LIBRARIES})
Resulting in a linker error like the following:
/usr/bin/ld: CMakeFiles/<something>.dir/<something>.o: undefined reference to
symbol '_ZN5boost6system15system_categoryEv'
//usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_system.so.1.54.0: error adding symbols: DSO
missing from command line
Linking with boost_system (i.e. -lboost_system or
target_link_libraries(my_target boost_system)) solves the issue, but it should
be done automatically when finding the thread component of Boost.
