Boost::Thread and ROS Fuerte CMake help

edit

Ok, so I am trying to utilize boost threads in a ROS application and I have been trying to figure out how to link boost to the the final exe. I keep finding conflicting ways on how to do this and not sure if i am doing it right.

This is my CMake file:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.4.6)
include($ENV{ROS_ROOT}/core/rosbuild/rosbuild.cmake)

# Set the build type.  Options are:
#  Coverage       : w/ debug symbols, w/o optimization, w/ code-coverage
#  Debug          : w/ debug symbols, w/o optimization
#  Release        : w/o debug symbols, w/ optimization
#  RelWithDebInfo : w/ debug symbols, w/ optimization
#  MinSizeRel     : w/o debug symbols, w/ optimization, stripped binaries
#set(ROS_BUILD_TYPE RelWithDebInfo)

rosbuild_init()

#set the default path for built executables to the "bin" directory
set(EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/bin)
#set the default path for built libraries to the "lib" directory
set(LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/lib)

find_package(Boost REQUIRED COMPONENTS thread)
rosbuild_add_boost_directories()


#uncomment if you have defined messages
#rosbuild_genmsg()
#uncomment if you have defined services
#rosbuild_gensrv()

#common commands for building c++ executables and libraries
rosbuild_add_library(Joystick src/CJoystick.cpp)
rosbuild_add_library(Frame src/CFrame.cpp)
rosbuild_add_library(Control src/CControl.cpp)
rosbuild_add_library(Vec2 src/Classes/Vec2/Vec2.cpp)
rosbuild_add_library(Vec3 src/Classes/Vec3/vec3.cpp)
rosbuild_add_library(Vec4 src/Classes/Vec4/Vec4.cpp)
rosbuild_add_library(Mat3 src/Classes/Mat3/mat3.cpp)
rosbuild_add_library(Waypoint src/Classes/Waypoint/waypoint.cpp)
rosbuild_add_library(UAV src/Classes/UAV/UAV.cpp)
#rosbuild_add_library(ARDrone src/ARDrone.cpp)
rosbuild_add_executable(ARDroneV4 src/ARDrone.cpp)
target_link_libraries(ARDroneV4 UAV Waypoint Frame Control Mat3 Vec2 Vec3 Vec4 Joystick)
rosbuild_link_boost(ARDroneV4 thread system)

Though it compiles fine the threading never happens. Any idea on what I am doing wrong?

Update:

This is the basic outline . Everything not associated with the thread is not included.

#include <boost/thread.hpp>

 void workfunc(){
   ROS_INFO("New Thread");

 }

int main(int argc,char **argv)
{
  time_t rawtime;
  std::string logfile;

  ros::init(argc,argv, "ARDroneControl"); //create node
  ros::NodeHandle n;

  ros::Rate rate(FREQ); //cycle per seconds

  while(n.ok())
  {
  boost::thread(workfunc);


    ros::spinOnce();
    rate.sleep();
  }

  return 0;
}
