I'm trying to compile the hello world program from cpp-netlib site. The code is bellow.

#include <boost/network/protocol/http/client.hpp>
#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    using namespace boost::network;

    if (argc != 2) {
        std::cout << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " [url]" << std::endl;
        return 1;
    }

    http::client client;
    http::client::request request(argv[1]);
    request << header("Connection", "close");
    http::client::response response = client.get(request);
    std::cout << body(response) << std::endl;

    return 0;
}

My CMakeLists.txt file is bellow

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)

project(app_project)

add_executable(myapp main.cpp)

install(TARGETS myapp DESTINATION bin)

set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -lboost_system -lboost_filesystem -lboost_thread -lcppnetlib-client-connections -lcppnetlib-uri -lcppnetlib-server-parsers -lcppnetlib-client-connections -lcppnetlib-uri -lboost_thread -lssl -lcrypt ")
set(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS "${CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS} -lboost_system -lboost_filesystem -lboost_thread -lcppnetlib-client-connections -lcppnetlib-uri -lcppnetlib-server-parsers -lcppnetlib-client-connections -lcppnetlib-uri -lboost_thread -lssl -lcrypt ")

SET(ADDITIONAL_LIBS "")

find_package( Boost 1.58.0 )
if(Boost_FOUND)

    #set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS        OFF)  # I've already tried ON
    #set(Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED      ON)
    #set(Boost_USE_STATIC_RUNTIME    OFF)

    include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
endif()

find_package(OpenSSL)
include_directories(${OpenSSL_INCLUDE_DIRS})
target_link_libraries ( myapp ${OpenSSL_INCLUDE_DIRS} )
LIST(APPEND ADDITIONAL_LIBS ${OpenSSL_LIBRARIES})

set ( CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH ${CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH} /data/dev/cpp/cpp-netlib-build )
find_package ( cppnetlib 0.11.0 REQUIRED )
include_directories ( ${cppnetlib_INCLUDE_DIRS} )
target_link_libraries ( myapp ${cppnetlib_LIBRARIES} )
LIST(APPEND ADDITIONAL_LIBS ${cppnetlib_LIBRARIES})

SET(CMAKE_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES ${ADDITIONAL_LIBS})

To build I run 

mkdir build 
cd build
cmake --debug-output ..
make

And get the following output with errors

fixed.

Note:

  • I have installed cppnetlib to a different directory to you - this is reflected in my command line invocation of cmake. I have build both boost and cppnetlib into $HOME/include/... and $HOME/lib...
  • uppercase variables CPPNETLIB_xxxx
  • nice use of CMAKE find_package(...) variables so your script does not get cluttered with nasty hacks.
  • I removed the version demand from find_package(Boost) because I'm using version 1.57

here's the script:

$ more ~/play/netlib/CMakeLists.txt 

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)

project(app_project)

add_executable(myapp main.cpp)

install(TARGETS myapp DESTINATION bin)

find_package( Boost REQUIRED COMPONENTS thread system)
include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
target_link_libraries(myapp ${Boost_LIBRARIES})

find_package(OpenSSL)
include_directories(${OpenSSL_INCLUDE_DIRS})
target_link_libraries ( myapp ${OpenSSL_LIBRARIES} )

find_package ( cppnetlib 0.11.0 REQUIRED )
include_directories ( ${CPPNETLIB_INCLUDE_DIRS} )
target_link_libraries ( myapp ${CPPNETLIB_LIBRARIES} )

to invoke (from clean directory):

$ mkdir ~/play/mk-netlib
$ cd ~/play/mk-netlib/
$ CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$HOME CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="c++11" cmake ../netlib/

As you can see, it works perfectly.

@thiagoh updated the answer. That should work no matter what your system is.
the error changed but a new one insists please check it pastebin.com/mtAt6aE7
I'm using the ubuntu's default linker (GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.24 ).. which linker do you recommends?
@thiagoh updated answer with an end-to-end summary of a successful build. I suggest you wipe your build directory and try again. If that doesn't work then there's a problem with your build environment. This is a brand-new linux VM.
man! I make it work!! I've just put target_link_libraries(myapp crypto ssl) before find_package(OpenSSL) and everything worked perfectly! why do you think that happened?
