[CMake] Alternative locations for boost in cmake

[Mahmood Naderan]

Thank you. I tried this command:
cmake -DBoost_NO_SYSTEM_PATHS=ON -DBOOST_INCLUDE_DIR=/storage/users/mnaderan/boost_1_65_1/build/include/ -DBoost_LIBRARY_DIRS=/storage/users/mnaderan/boost_1_65_1/build/lib/ -DBoost_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS=1.65.1 ..

The paths are correct as you can see below:

$ ls /storage/users/mnaderan/boost_1_65_1/build/lib/
libboost_atomic.a              libboost_math_tr1l.so.1.65.1
libboost_atomic.so             libboost_math_tr1.so
...


$ ls /storage/users/mnaderan/boost_1_65_1/build/include/boost/
accumulators                  geometry                       preprocessor.hpp
algorithm                     geometry.hpp                   process
align                         get_pointer.hpp                process.hpp
...


I didn't paste all files though.

However, the cmake command fails with the following error message
-- Could NOT find Boost

When you read word `variables` in CMake documentation,
it means CMake variables (also known as cache entries).
Otherwise, it would be qualified using word `environment`.

The CMake variables can be set via command line option -D [1]
