[CMake] How to link the third party libraries into the project?

[Michael Jackson]

You have a mix of boost libraries built with VS2005 (VC8) and VS2008  
(VC9). You are compiling your program with VS2008 but only have the  
appropriate libraries for VS2005 for the specific library requested.  
You need to build/install the proper libraries for VS 2008.
   With visual studio you can not mix libraries from one compiler to  
another compiler.
