Summary0014776: find_package for boost broken under cygwin
DescriptionWhen using find_package under cygwin, CMake tries looking for the correct path by _appending_ the path to the current path. So it finds c:/boost correctly, but tries to get the header from /cygdrive/c/path/to/my/project/c:/boost/boost/someheader.hpp
Steps To ReproduceUse the find_package to locate Boost on a Cygwin installation. CMake won't be able to find it despite deducing the path correctly.

Cygwin prefers never to see Windows-style paths. From where does the "c:/boost" path come during the search?

I'd like to know this too! I do in fact have Boost installed in c:\boost, so that part of feature detection is working correctly. However, lumping it together with Cygdrive is NOT correct - it should be /cygdrive/c/boost instead!

I don't know why I missed this before but there is a hard-coded C:/boost in FindBoost.cmake. Try removing those lines locally to see if it resolves the problem. If so then they can be made conditional on the platform.
