<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hello!</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I've been struggling with find_package(boost …): although it succeeds up to a point, it doesn't finish the job. I must be doing something wrong.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The output below shows that boost is found, and several of the expected variables are set, but Boost_LIBRARIES is not. I suspect that means that, although the boost installation was found, the particular component (i.e., the unit_test_framework) was not.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The weird thing is that, when I get to the link step, link knows the exact file name it should link, but doesn't find it:</FONT></P>
<P> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">1>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_unit_test_framework-vc80-mt-gd-1_42.lib'</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Any hints much appreciated!</FONT>
