Failed to compile with Boost.Cobalt

[01Pollux]

Xmake Version

xmake v2.9.7+master.db69821b7

Operating System Version and Architecture

Window 11 Pro 23H2

Describe Bug

Can't use Boost.Cobalt as it was not linked properly.

Expected Behavior

The code should have compiled.

Project Configuration

set_languages("c++23")

add_requires("boost", {configs = {cobalt = true, cmake = false}})
target("test")
    set_kind("binary")
    add_files("src/*.cpp")
    add_packages("boost")

main.cpp:

#include <iostream>
#include <boost/cobalt.hpp>
#include <boost/cobalt/main.hpp>

namespace co = boost::cobalt;

co::promise<int> test() {
	co_return 0;
}

co::main co_main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
	std::cout << "Hello, world!" << std::endl;
	co_return co_await test();
}

add_requires("boost[cmkae,cobalt,asio]") work for me, you can try it.

Thanks! one question though, is it possible to explicitly specify which boost's component should be shared and which should be static? i don't see any way to do so
