Cmake doesn’t find Boost

by

Are you sure you are doing it the correct way? The idea is that CMake sets BOOST_INCLUDE_DIR, BOOST_LIBRARYDIR and BOOST_ROOT automatically. Do something like this in CMakeLists.txt:

FIND_PACKAGE(Boost)
IF (Boost_FOUND)
    INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIR})
    ADD_DEFINITIONS( "-DHAS_BOOST" )
ENDIF()

If boost is not installed in a default location and can, thus, not be found by CMake, you can tell CMake where to look for boost like this:

SET(CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH ${CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH} "C:/win32libs/boost")
SET(CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH ${CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH} "C:/win32libs/boost/lib")

Of course, those two lines have to be before the FIND_PACKAGE(Boost) in CMakeLists.txt.
