When I build main with dynamic link to boost log. I get

dyld: Library not loaded: libboost_filesystem.dylib
  Referenced from: /Users/arthuranderson/Documents/work/edx/algo/cmake-build-debug/algo_main
  Reason: image not found. 

I am expecting main to build and run.

Environment:

OS: OSX 10.14.2
XCode: 10.1

algo/
  cmake/
    CMakeList.Boost.txt.in
  src/
    main.cpp
  test/
    versionUnitTests.cpp

  CMakeLists.txt

Boost is brought in using ExternalProject_add.

It downloads, extracts and builds all the libs needed. They show up correctly in the CMakeCache.txt. The build and download happens in the CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR The libraries are located in CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR/boost/lib

CMakelist.Boost.txt.in contents are...

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.14 FATAL_ERROR)

I think this maybe related to another post, where they found that xcode could not find libraries that were not installed in the global location. Any suggestions could help. I would rather stay away from installing in /usr/local/bin and keep the libraries local to the project.

Thanks Arthur
