CMake: Could NOT find Boost #185

Closed tdegeus closed 9 months ago

tdegeus commented 9 months ago

Solution to issue cannot be found in the documentation.

Issue

I'm not sure if this is strictly related to this feedstock.

I'm using some header-only math functions from Boost. I can just install libboost-headers. I still use the Boost::headers target, such that my library has a find_dependency(Boost REQUIRED) call. The FindBoost is I believe provided by CMake and not by this feedstock.

Yet on my Linux machine I keep getting an error 

  CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:230 (message):
    Could NOT find Boost (missing: Boost_INCLUDE_DIR)
  Call Stack (most recent call first):
    /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:594 (_FPHSA_FAILURE_MESSAGE)
    /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:2344 (find_package_handle_standard_args)
    /usr/share/cmake/Modules/CMakeFindDependencyMacro.cmake:47 (find_package)
    /home/tdegeus/miniforge3/envs/code_epm_jed/lib/cmake/prrng/prrngConfig.cmake:31 (find_dependency)
    CMakeLists.txt:42 (find_package)

Strangely I'm not getting this error in the equivalent CI : https://github.com/tdegeus/GooseEPM/actions/runs/7017121385/job/19089767396

The answer is simply that libboost-headers does not contain the CMake metadata, which is in libboost-devel.

tdegeus commented 9 months ago

From this feedstock's perspective, I agree. Yet:

  1. I would say that I would not need Boost's CMake files. It should suffice to use the default https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/FindBoost.html
  2. Since I'm not linking against Boost I would really like to not depend on libboost-devel

Again, it is a bit of a vague issue because my CI is simply passing by using https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/FindBoost.html . Yet, I cannot figure out what the installation-specific issue could be.

h-vetinari commented 9 months ago

There are different ways to "find" boost, and because boost is so ubiquitous, CMake even has its own FindBoost function (which actually gets preferred over our metadata, unless you do find_package(boost CONFIG)). In particular, certain detection mechanisms will be happy enough with finding the right headers somewhere, and deducing the rest from that.

I cannot tell what's happening in your specific situation, but you can ensure that your $PREFIX is set correctly, and if that fails, it's really not a big deal to depend on libboost-devel. Effectively, that's all that existed before the recent refactor, and if you want to avoid the run-export, you can do either of

ignore_run_exports_from:
  - libboost-devel

or

ignore_run_exports:
  - libboost

(both are equivalent, their only difference is if they are addressing the run-exporteR or the run-exporteE)

Finally, I get that this is not an amazing setup. We'd like to have CMake metadata even just for the headers. But that's a bit complicated with how CMake metadata is all in the same set of files, and we can't split them well across different packages.

tdegeus commented 9 months ago

Thanks for the tips. Like you say, it would have been ideal to separate CMake header-only support, but that is rather an upstream request.

As to my non-reproducible issue: I'll do some more investigating, hopefully I will find out.

tdegeus commented 9 months ago

For documentation purposes:

I did come across a reproducer : https://readthedocs.org/projects/gooseeye/builds/22752796/ . It seems that there may be a naming inconsistency somewhere upstream. The complaint is 

Could NOT find Boost (missing: Boost_INCLUDE_DIR)

Indeed https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/FindBoost.html mentions Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS (notice the plural). I cannot really figure out who made a 'mistake' and why this lets my CMake fail.
