What happens

cmake generates a large number of warnings that look like this:

CMake Warning (dev) at deps/boost-mpi/CMakeLists.txt:24 (target_link_libraries):
  Policy CMP0079 is not set: target_link_libraries allows use with targets in
  other directories.  Run "cmake --help-policy CMP0079" for policy details.
  Use the cmake_policy command to set the policy and suppress this warning.

  Target

    project-deps

  is not created in this directory.  For compatibility with older versions of
  CMake, link library

    /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/openmpi/lib/libmpi_cxx.so

  will be looked up in the directory in which the target was created rather
  than in this calling directory.
This warning is for project developers.  Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.

until finally the following occurs:

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by switching back to a branch.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -c with the switch command. Example:

  git switch -c <new-branch-name>

Or undo this operation with:

Further details

I'm not sure that the warnings are actually related to the final error; I tried adding

cmake_policy(SET CMP0079 OLD)

to the CMakeLists.txt and this eliminates most of the warnings, but not the Boost errors that prevent compilation.

[ExpHP]

Tried upgrading to cmake 3.20, as well as downgrading to cmake 3.8 (the lowest version that supports CXX17). No dice with either. (same error message)

[colin-daniels]

Hmm, I'll take a look at this tomorrow. Doesn't totally surprise me that there are issues, since I didn't do the greatest job of pinning versions and CMake doesn't exactly make this easy.

[ExpHP]

Thanks. I also forgot to mention that I am on WSL 2.

(Which is a surprisingly reliable environment for linux, and has yet to present me with any unique challenges for building or installing anything with the exception of perf. gcc -dumpmachine identifies the target as x86_64-linux-gnu)
