Clean your entire build folder out. when you run CMake-gui BEFORE you ever hit "configure" add the BOOST_ROOT variable. Then click the "configure" button. You should NOT have to set ANY internal cmake variables for this to work. The way you are building boost is known to work correctly.

Also what is the name of the folder inside C:\Boost\include\  ?

If that is NOT named correctly on windows FindBoost will fail.
