[CMake] Fw : Linking boost failure

I tried your lines in my CMakelists. I use the 1.34.1 version of boost. The components I set are : thread, filesystem, date_time, pogram_options, regex
But I got these errors while configuring
CMake Error at C:/Program Files/CMake 2.6/share/cmake-2.6/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:620 (message):
Unable to find the requested Boost libraries.

Boost version: 1.34.1

Boost include path: C:/Program Files/boost/boost_1_34_1

The following Boost libraries could not be found:

boost_thread
boost_filesystem
boost_date_time
boost_program_options
boost_regex

No Boost libraries were found. You may need to set Boost_LIBRARYDIR to the
directory containing Boost libraries or BOOST_ROOT to the location of
Boost.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
CMakeLists.txt:65 (FIND_PACKAGE)
 
So I guess my boost library is not porperly installed. But why it works with MSVC?
What can I do? I already re-installed boost.
A bit question, does it matter if I use latest version of boost if my app was built using older version of boost?
 
Thanks in advance for help (^_^)

Are you using the FindBoost() command in your CMakeLists.txt file? If not you
really should be as this will solve all your problems. An example from one of my
own projects is:

SET (Boost_FIND_REQUIRED TRUE)
SET (Boost_FIND_QUIETLY FALSE)
FIND_PACKAGE(Boost 1.36 COMPONENTS program_options system filesystem)
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})  # Include the Boost Headers
LINK_DIRECTORIES(${Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS})

.....

ADD_EXECUTABLE(PVPluginGenerator ${SOURCES} ${HEADERS})
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(PVPluginGenerator  ${Boost_LIBRARIES})

Boost_LIBRARIES will contain all the selected boost libraries for each platform
you compile on.

(boost version used 1.34.1).

"undefined reference to boost::....". The most recurrent is
boost::mutex related.
