<p class=MsoNormal>My problem is that boost libraries are never found. When I
search for them on disk via the CMake GUI, after loading them all in and
hitting configure, they are still not found and CMake resets the values to
NOT_FOUND.I’m a noob so this is definitely an issue of “user error”
but I haven’t been able to find an example that works. I also googled and
found that there were some issues with FindBoost but it looked like they may
have been resolved.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly
appreciated!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks<o:p></o:p></p>
