Auto-linking is "header files telling the linker what libraries to link to" (via "pragma comment lib" in the MS compilers): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto-linking http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7f0aews7.aspx I've always had to define the preprocessor symbol in boost (and I always have to look it up, because I can't remember what it is) to suppress auto-linking in order to get boost to work with a CMake-based build of something that depends on boost. Using auto-linking successfully usually involves specifying link directories, and libraries by file name only (not full path), ... perhaps that is one reason why it doesn't interact easily with CMake in general.
