[CMake] [CMake General][FindBoost] CMake and Boost 1.46.1

[Andrew Maclean]

Hi Robert,

I build boost for windows using bjam and I have no problems with CMake
finding boost.

In my CMake files I do this:

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
---
# Boost
# For automatic linking, uses the static version of the libraries.
if(WIN32)
  set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON)
endif(WIN32)
set(Boost_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS "1.46.1" )
if ( WIN32 )
  find_package(Boost REQUIRED COMPONENTS system date_time filesystem
thread iostreams regex serialization bzip2 zlib)
else ( WIN32 )
  find_package(Boost REQUIRED COMPONENTS system date_time filesystem
thread iostreams regex serialization)
endif ( WIN32 )
if ( Boost_FOUND )
  include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
  add_definitions(${Boost_LIB_DIAGNOSTIC_DEFINITIONS})
  # Remember to include ${Boost_LIBRARIES} in the target_link_libraries()
statement
  # This is needed for debug builds in windows in boost.
  link_directories(${Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS})
endif ( Boost_FOUND )


As to the file names I don't have a windows machine here at present but I
can check in the morning.


Andrew
