Linking libraries CMake - c++

Question

I'm not sure whether the title is correct, but anyway:
I'm writing the project with boost and eigen3 libraries, further I would like to test CMake. So far I've written everything in one .cpp file, the header is like:
#include <boost/numeric/ublas/matrix.hpp>
#include <boost/numeric/ublas/io.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include "eigen/Eigen/Dense"
#define BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK
#define BOOST_TEST_MODULE Hello
#include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>
#include <cmath>
#include <boost/timer/timer.hpp>
#include <fstream>
Further I added some boost unit tests in my "main" function in the following way
BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(universeInOrder)
{
Eigen::Matrix3d m;
m << 0, 1, 2,
3, 4, 5,
6, 7, 8;
BOOST_CHECK(Min(m) == 1);
}
where Min is a separate function returning the lowest coeff. of matrix.
In my directory I have both FindEigen3.CMake and FindBoost.CMake files. I also have CMakeLists.txt file with the code:
cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 3.0)
project (hello)
find_package (Eigen3 3.3 REQUIRED NO_MODULE)
add_executable (hello hello.cpp)
target_link_libraries (hello Eigen3::Eigen)
enable_testing()
I'm running
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
and there are no errors, everything is ok.
To run the program I use
g++ -I /home/fdhd/Documents/boost/ file-name.cpp -lboost_unit_test_framework -lboost_timer -o file-name
And here is my question - can I avoid linking boost in that command above and plug in into CMakeLists.txt file and run just
g++ file-name.cpp ,
so that it will work because everything is in CMakeLists file?
Any ideas? I think that the solution must be just behind the corner, but I can't really see it.
Thanks!

To run the program I use
Nop, that's not the cmake idiomatic way to run/test your program. Since you have enable_testing(), cmake already has a custom target for you to run your binary. According to the CTest wiki, all you need is to type make test after adding add_test function in you CMakeLists.txt. More or less like this:
cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 3.0)
project (hello)
find_package (Eigen3 3.3 REQUIRED NO_MODULE)
add_executable (hello hello.cpp)
target_link_libraries (hello Eigen3::Eigen)
enable_testing()
add_test(test hello)
