Cannot build a boost::redis example using CMake

[hungptit]

I use this CMake config to build boost::redis and other boost libraries

include(FetchContent)

set(BOOST_INCLUDE_LIBRARIES redis mysql asio json)
set(BOOST_ENABLE_CMAKE ON)

include(FetchContent)
FetchContent_Declare(
  Boost
  GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/boostorg/boost.git
  GIT_TAG boost-1.85.0
  GIT_SHALLOW TRUE)

FetchContent_MakeAvailable(Boost)

But I could not compile the provided example because of these linker errors.

My configuration works fine with boost::json. What do I miss?

@hungptit Had the same issue. Try to add #include <boost/redis/src.hpp>. It works for me.

This hack works. Thank you.
