Trying to use Boost 1.69.0 from CLION while Visual Studio works, but giving weird MINGW errors

Visual Studio is aweomse. It works, but I like using CLION and has no debug feature, so I try to use MINGW, but I get this weird undefined reference errors.

My CMakeLists.txt:

So now from this part it builds and works with Visual Studio, but given I try to debug with CLION, I try to use with MingW (besides I tried CYGWIN as well, but getting the exact error!!!!).

So this is the error:

Given I use both Visual Studio and GCC, it is a little bit different, because it uses cmake:

add_executable (test1 src/native/test/test1.cpp src/native/component/Index.cpp src/native/component/Index.h)
    if (MSVC)
    else()
        target_link_libraries(test1 boost_filesystem boost_timer boost_chrono boost_system)
    endif (MSVC)

Ok, many guys help me to fix this. And it is true, but for someone that trying to compile for Visual Studio at once with CLion and cmake-js and Electron, the solution was that, because Visual Studio find out by itself, for MinGW you have to set the linked libraries (besides if you are in Windows or Linux):

#set(BOOST_ARCHITECTURE "-x64")
set(Boost_DEBUG ON)
#set(CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE ON)
if (MSVC)
    set(BOOST_NO_SYSTEM_PATHS ON)
    set(BOOST_USE_MULTITHREADED  ON)
    set(BOOST_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON)
    set(BOOST_USE_STATIC_RUNTIME OFF)
    set(BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK OFF)

    set(BOOST_ROOT "C:/boost_1_69_0")
    set(BOOST_INCLUDE_DIRS ${BOOST_ROOT})
    set(BOOST_LIBRARY_DIRS ${BOOST_ROOT}/stage/lib/)
else()
    #set(BOOST_ROOT "C:/boost_1_69_0")
    #set(BOOST_INCLUDE_DIRS ${BOOST_ROOT})
    #set(BOOST_LIBRARY_DIRS ${BOOST_ROOT}/stage/lib/)

    if (WIN32)
        set(BOOST_ROOT "C:/MinGW")
        set(BOOST_INCLUDE_DIRS ${BOOST_ROOT}/include)
        set(BOOST_LIBRARY_DIRS ${BOOST_ROOT}/lib/)
    endif (WIN32)
    find_package(Boost COMPONENTS timer filesystem system REQUIRED )
endif (MSVC)

include_directories(${BOOST_INCLUDE_DIRS})
LINK_DIRECTORIES(${BOOST_LIBRARY_DIRS})
if (CMAKE_JS_VERSION)
else()
    add_executable (test1 src/native/test/test1.cpp src/native/component/Index.cpp src/native/component/Index.h)
    if (NOT MSVC)
        target_link_libraries(test1 boost_filesystem boost_timer boost_chrono boost_system)
    endif (NOT MSVC)
endif()
