Summary0009510: FindBoost.cmake still can't find boost on cygwin
DescriptionThere's already a bug report for this but I can't reopen it since I'm not the original reporter.

The summary pretty much says it all. Using cmake 2.6.4 and the version of FindBoost.cmake in trunk, I still can't get cmake to pick up boost on cygwin.

I've installed boost into C:\build (/cygdrive/c/build). Here's how I invoke cygwin:

BOOST_ROOT=/cygdrive/c/build/ BOOST_INCLUDEDIR=/cygdrive/c/build/include
-1_39/ cmake -G Unix\ Makefiles --debug-trycompile -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr
/g++ -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/usr/bin/gcc -DBoost_DEBUG=On

And here's the output (there's a little extra "Looking for" message I added that prints out first name it tries):

-- Detecting C compiler ABI info
-- Detecting C compiler ABI info - done
-- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/bin/g++

If I manually add '.a' on to the end of the names searched, then it works. It looks like not all the extensions that should be checked are checked.

So, I think cygwin expects a .dll.a. I guess .dll works as well. However, we don't want to find non-cygwin .dll files as they will not work....

I have the same issue with cmake 2.8.0 on cygwin.

The problem is that for WIN32, which includes cygwin, the variable Boost_LIB_PREFIX is set to "lib". If I reset Boost_LIB_PREFIX to "", cmake finds the libraries without manually adding '.a'.

A possible fix could be this patch:
