[CMake] FindBoost not setting Boost_LIBRARIES

Tue May 11 19:06:44 EDT 2010

Hello!

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.

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.

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:

	1>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file
'libboost_unit_test_framework-vc80-mt-gd-1_42.lib'

Any hints much appreciated!
Nate
