Summary0013958: FindBoost on Ubuntu behaves erratically
DescriptionI'm using system boost.

By default the variables are set to:

 Boost_DIR Boost_DIR-NOTFOUND
 Boost_INCLUDE_DIR /usr/include
 Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS /usr/lib
 Boost_SYSTEM_LIBRARY /usr/lib/libboost_system-mt.a
 Boost_SYSTEM_LIBRARY_DEBUG /usr/lib/libboost_system-mt.a
 Boost_SYSTEM_LIBRARY_RELEASE /usr/lib/libboost_system-mt.a
 Boost_THREAD_LIBRARY /usr/lib/libboost_thread-mt.a
 Boost_THREAD_LIBRARY_DEBUG /usr/lib/libboost_thread-mt.a
 Boost_THREAD_LIBRARY_RELEASE /usr/lib/libboost_thread-mt.a

Since I want to use shared libs (there's a fPIC problem which Ubuntu 12.10 boost builds), I changed the .a to .so. CMake forces some of the variables back to the following:

 Boost_SYSTEM_LIBRARY /usr/lib/libboost_system-mt.so
 Boost_SYSTEM_LIBRARY_DEBUG /usr/lib/libboost_system-mt.a
 Boost_SYSTEM_LIBRARY_RELEASE /usr/lib/libboost_system-mt.a
 Boost_THREAD_LIBRARY /usr/lib/libboost_thread-mt.so
 Boost_THREAD_LIBRARY_DEBUG /usr/lib/libboost_thread-mt.a
 Boost_THREAD_LIBRARY_RELEASE /usr/lib/libboost_thread-mt.a

I cannot get the _DEBUG/_RELEASE to be .so.

This is a developer bug. On inspecting the code, I see the following:

set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON)

It works fine when I remove "set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON)". Feel free to close.
