CMake is telling you that it was unable to find the Boost date_time, log, and log_setup libraries, which are dependencies for NumCpp. You need to either install/build those Boost libraries, or disable the parts of NumCpp that require Boost by defining the flag NUMCPP_NO_USE_BOOST, i.e:

cmake -B Build -S . -DNUMCPP_NO_USE_BOOST=ON

from numcpp.

I am experiencing a similar problem with the following error:
D:\NumCpp\build>cmake ..

And I use the example setup: cmake -B Build -S . -DNUMCPP_NO_USE_BOOST=ON, it can be installed, but it doesn't work, please, can you suggest this problem?

Can you provide a minimal example that produces this error? Without seeing your CMake file I don't have much to go on...

Ok, so first things first, the CMakeLists.txt file in the repo is for building the various tests, examples, and documentation, so there is really no reason to use it on its own.

Please refer to the Installation and Build instructions for using the NumCpp library.

I've also cloned NumCpp on a completely fresh, bare bones, Ubuntu container with no Boost installed and configured CMake using:

cmake -B Build -S . -DNUMCPP_NO_USE_BOOST=ON

with zero issues.

It looks like from the commandline you posted above you did not include the NUMCPP_NO_USE_BOOST option:
