I am Trying to Build vsomeip from this wiki and it says it needs Boost library, so i made conanfile.txt in my project dir looks like this:

[requires]
boost/1.83.0

[options]
boost/*:without_stacktrace=True #disable this dependency to continue the build

[generators]
CMakeDeps
CMakeToolchain 

and installed it in build directory in same project dir, my whole project dir now looks like this :

- build
- capicxx-someip-runtime
- vsomeip
- conanfile.txt

now from inside vsomeip dir, I run

> cmake -Bbuild -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../install_folder
> -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE="../build"  -DENABLE_SIGNAL_HANDLING=1 -DDIAGNOSIS_ADDRESS=0x10 .

but i get this error it can't find Boost, do you know why?

• Please prefer code block for formatted texts. – 3CxEZiVlQ Commented Mar 8 at 1:58
• There is something strange about the way you call cmake. CMake warns you that it ignores value of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX. And I guess CMake absolutely ignores the second line, including a toolchain specification. As far as I understand Conan, exactly specific toolchain helps CMake to find packages installed by Conan. Does build is the actual name of your toolchain file? This is misleading name. Normally, CMake a toolchain file name has .cmake extension (because it is actually a CMake script). – Tsyvarev Commented Mar 8 at 8:40

The problem was This warning means that CMake's built-in FindBoost module has been removed, and find_package(Boost REQUIRED) no longer works unless you use the new CMake package management approach.

In CMakeLists.txt of vsomeip, before calling find_package(Boost REQUIRED), I added cmake_policy(SET CMP0167 NEW)

it worked.
