Summary

0007593: CMake can't find Boost libraries under Windows

Description

Under Windows, I can't find Boost libraries.

I have downloaded Multithread DLL for Visual Studio 2003 and tried to find
them with CMake 2.6-1. Boost version is 1.35
CMake finds headers but can't find libraries. CMake search the following
directories :

   - C:/boost/lib
   - C:/boost
   -
   $ENV{ProgramFiles}/boost/boost_${Boost_FIND_VERSION_MAJOR}_${Boost_FIND_VERSION_MINOR}_${Boost_FIND_VERSION_PATCH}
   - $ENV{ProgramFiles}/Boost

Standard Boost installer installs libraries to "C:\Program
Files\boost\boost_1_35_0\lib".

Additional Information

I suggest this patch. After reading Boost_LIB_VERSION and Boost_VERSION in boost/version.hpp, we could add path
$ENV{ProgramFiles}/boost/boost_${Boost_MAJOR_VERSION}_${Boost_MINOR_VERSION}_${Boost_SUBMINOR_VERSION}/lib
to library search dirs. It works fine for me.

  IF(Boost_INCLUDE_DIR)
    ...
    IF(NOT "${Boost_VERSION}" STREQUAL "0")
      ...
    ENDIF(NOT "${Boost_VERSION}" STREQUAL "0")

> SET(_boost_LIBRARIES_SEARCH_DIRS
> ${_boost_LIBRARIES_SEARCH_DIRS}
> "$ENV{ProgramFiles}/boost/boost_${Boost_MAJOR_VERSION}_${Boost_MINOR_VERSION}_${Boost_SUBMINOR_VERSION}/lib"
> )

  ELSE(Boost_INCLUDE_DIR)
    ...
  ENDIF(Boost_INCLUDE_DIR)
