Summary0014997: FindBoost can not find boost libraries installed via cygwin setup
DescriptionWhen trying to cmake project which uses boost libraries on cygwin cmake reports "Could not find Boost". Headers are being found with out problems. Here is an output:

The following Boost libraries could not be found:

No Boost libraries were found. You may need to set BOOST_LIBRARYDIR to the direc

Notice that when cmake finds headers it properly defines multithreading:
-- [ /usr/share/cmake-2.8.11.2/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:478 ] Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED = TRUE

later on it does not:
-- [ /usr/share/cmake-2.8.11.2/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:749 ] _boost_MULTITHREADED =

If I manually change boost library file names to libboost_<whatever>.a, i.e. remove -mt.dll then this problem is gone. So temporary created a number of symlinks, which is not quite nice, I guess.

 Just to clarify:

boost library files are in /lib directory of cygwin, i.e. c:\cygwin64\lib

running cmake with BOOST_LIBRARYDIR:
BOOST_LIBRARYDIR=/lib cmake .. -DBoost_DEBUG=on

adds /lib to the _boost_LIBRARY_SEARCH_DIRS but does not solve the problem

 I am wrong that renaming boost library files solves the issue. it solves it partially - cmake finds the libraries, but then make fails:

$> make
...
make[2]: *** No rule to make target '/usr/lib/libboost_program_options.a', needed by 'src/cygpnicore-2.dll'. Stop.
CMakeFiles/Makefile2:1162: recipe for target 'src/CMakeFiles/pnicore.dir/all' failed
make[1]: *** [src/CMakeFiles/pnicore.dir/all] Error 2
Makefile:126: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 2

'/usr/lib/libboost_program_options.a' file exists:
$ ls -al /usr/lib/libboost_program_options.a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 Ingvord None 38 Jun 28 08:04 /usr/lib/libboost_program_options.a ->
 /lib/libboost_program_options-mt.dll.a

 Finally got it!

The problem indeed was with this Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED param. In one of the CMakeLists files it was set to OFF, i.e. set(Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED OFF)

Passing ON value through command line gave no result. But after changing the mentioned CMakeLists file cmake has found the libraries.

 Re 0014997:0036287: Okay. AFAICT there is no bug in CMake here.
