Comment # 9 on bug 1195343 from Adam Majer

It looks like the CMakeLists.txt are setup to only link with static libraries
and only find static boost libraries. Since we do not provide static libraries
but only dynamic libraries (this way we can fix problem code in one library
without rebuilding the world), naturally, the static versions cannot be found.
The minimum patch that fixes build of cmangos is

--- a/CMakeLists.txt
+++ b/CMakeLists.txt
@@ -193,7 +193,7 @@ endif()

 # Be sure to search only static lib
 add_definitions(-DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB)
-set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON)
+# set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON)

A better patch would just remove all of these lines,

One think you should also take care when building on Leap, is that these
sources require the <filesystem> header which is not available with default
compiler. Make sure to use g++-10 instead. So, export CXX=g++-10 before running
cmake in the build directory and then check that it selected it instead of the
default g++-7

I will close this bug as it's mostly an issue with upstream CMake usage and
their expectation to only use static libraries.
