Summary0014235: FindBoost should clarify when "static" libraries are not found
Descriptioncmake cannot find my boost libraries. They are in /usr/lib64 on Fedora 17/18/19. I executed this:

cmake .. -DBOOST_INCLUDEDIR=/usr/include/boost -DBOOST_LIBRARYDIR=/usr/lib64 -DBoost_DEBUG=TRUE

and get:

 I see "Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS = ON" in the output. Does /usr/lib64 have the static libraries or only the shared ones?

 Thanks for spotting that. I feel pretty stupid now.

 It would be helpful for the error message to specify whether it was looking for dynamic/static libraries. It's not obvious when building someone else's software. Something like:

    set(Boost_ERROR_REASON
      "${Boost_ERROR_REASON}\nThe following")
    if (Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS)
        set(Boost_ERROR_REASON
        "${Boost_ERROR_REASON} static ")
    else ()
        set(Boost_ERROR_REASON
        "${Boost_ERROR_REASON} dynamic ")
    endif ()
    set(Boost_ERROR_REASON
      "${Boost_ERROR_REASON}Boost libraries could not be found:\n")

 Good idea. I've extended the error message:

 http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=commitdiff;h=86cbd731 [^]

Note that Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS=ON forces static libs but Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS=OFF still allows them though dynamic libs are preferred.
