[CMake] CMake Digest, Vol 99, Issue 61

Tue Jul 31 02:50:07 EDT 2012

Hi Christian,
   Mike's comment about setting BOOST_ROOT should work. If this doesn't,
make sure that your directories look like this:

C:\boost
C:\boost\include
C:\boost\include\boost-1_50
C:\boost\include\boost-1_50\boost
C:\boost\lib

With the above arrangement of directories,  FindBoost.cmake shouldn't need
any variables to be set by the user.
The problem is often that the pecompiled boost libraries do not
use C:\boost\lib but instead use something like C:\boost\lib64
or C:\boost\lib32.

Regards
   Andrew
