As the module says: # Variables used by this module, they can change the default behaviour and need to be set # before calling find_package: # Boost_USE_MULTITHREAD Can be set to OFF to use the non-multithreaded # boost libraries. Defaults to ON. # Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS Can be set to ON to force the use of the static # boost libraries. Defaults to OFF. # Boost_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS A list of version numbers to use for searching # the boost include directory. The default list # of version numbers is: # 1.33, 1.33.0, 1.33.1, 1.34, 1.34.0, 1.34.1, # 1.35, 1.35.0, 1.35.1, 1.36.0, 1.36.1 # If you want to look for an older or newer # version set this variable to a list of # strings, where each string contains a number, i.e. # SET(Boost_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS "0.99.0" "1.35.0") # BOOST_ROOT Preferred installation prefix for searching for Boost, # set this if the module has problems finding the proper Boost installation # BOOST_INCLUDEDIR Set this to the include directory of Boost, if the # module has problems finding the proper Boost installation # BOOST_LIBRARYDIR Set this to the lib directory of Boost, if the # module has problems finding the proper Boost installation # # The last three variables are available also as environment variables Following this, there should be no problem getting Find_Package(Boost) to work. -Adam _______________________________________________ CMake mailing list CMake@cmake.org http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
