[CMake] Fw : Linking boost failure

[Mike Jackson]

I just pulled down the BoostPro installer and installed the headers and 
a few libraries. I installed to C:\Developer\VS9\boost\boost_1_36_0.

I then set the environment variable BOOST_ROOT to 
C:\Developer\VS9\boost\boost_1_36_0

I ran CMake 2.6.2 from a Visual Studio command prompt and was able to 
find the libraries.

If you can add the following to your 
$CMAKE_INSTALL/share/cmake-2.6/modules/FindBoost.cmake at line 438:

     message(STATUS "Boost_LIB_VERSION: ${Boost_LIB_VERSION}")
     message(STATUS 
"${Boost_LIB_PREFIX}boost_${COMPONENT}${_boost_COMPILER}${_boost_MULTITHREADED}-${Boost_LIB_VERSION}")
     message(STATUS 
"${Boost_LIB_PREFIX}boost_${COMPONENT}${_boost_COMPILER}${_boost_MULTITHREADED}${_boost_STATIC_TAG}-${Boost_LIB_VERSION}")
     message(STATUS 
"${Boost_LIB_PREFIX}boost_${COMPONENT}${_boost_MULTITHREADED}")
     message(STATUS 
"${Boost_LIB_PREFIX}boost_${COMPONENT}${_boost_MULTITHREADED}${_boost_STATIC_TAG}")
     message(STATUS "${Boost_LIB_PREFIX}boost_${COMPONENT}")

(there are 5 separate lines there. You may have to unwrap them from the 
email)

Then run cmake again on a clean build directory and post the output.

I get the following:

-- Boost_LIB_VERSION: 1_36
-- boost_program_options-vc90-mt-1_36
-- boost_program_options-vc90-mt-1_36
-- boost_program_options-mt
-- boost_program_options-mt
-- boost_program_options

If your Boost_LIB_VERSION is empty then that is the first problem.
