Summary0016016: FindBoost.cmake has no support for OPTIONAL_COMPONENTS
DescriptionFindBoot.cmake has no support for the OPTIONAL_COMPONENTS keyword of find_package().
If REQUIRED is passed, Boost_FOUND will be false if one of the OPTIONAL_COMPONENTS was not found.
This seems easy to fix, the change boils down to
- if(NOT Boost_${COMPONENT}_FOUND)
+ if(NOT Boost_${COMPONENT}_FOUND AND Boost_FIND_REQUIRED_${component})
which seems simple enough.
Please consider the attached patch.
This is a long standing issue, at least a discussion from 2010 can be found here:

Steps To Reproducefind_package(Boost REQUIRED COMPONENTS filesystem OPTIONAL_COMPONENTS not_published_yet)
