Thanks Christopher, but I am aware of that fix. Actually, that's what my hack does -- it uses CMake to set BOOST_ROOT programmatically. What I'm getting at is that there is no reason FindBoost shouldn't be able to successfully find Boost with a vanilla BoostPro install on Windows using "find_package(Boost COMPONENTS thread REQUIRE)" (or whatever) when it can successfully do so with just "find_package(Boost)" with no arguments. -Curtis On Tue, Jun 23, 2009 at 3:44 PM, Christopher Harvey <ch...@basementcode.com>wrote: > define BOOST_ROOT and point it at the root install location for boost.
