make can't find regex.hpp (boost)

Question

I'm trying to compile a small c++ project with one file only. The 5 first lines of BoostRegex.cpp are:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <regex.hpp>

int main() { ....

I run the following ./configure line (it's a cross compile):

cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/home/vitor/bin/raspi/cmaketoolchain/toolchain.cmake ../src/

This line works with the following output:

[vitor@archlinux bin]$ cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/home/vitor/bin/rasp/cmaketoolchain/toolchain.cmake ../src/

But when I run the make command:

I have to indicate once again the headers of boost lib? How can I do it?

Answer 1

This looks like an error in your CMakeLists.txt

Are you including the correct dirs as per the FindBoost module?

include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
