Hi Andreas. This totally fixed my problem. Cmake was using the wrong version of Mingw and the boost version document was also wrong. So it was looking for the wrong files in both version and compiler.Aka:libboost_thread-mgw44-mt-1_47.dll Instead of:libboost_thread-mgw46-mt-1_49.dll
SET (Boost_COMPILER "-mgw46") and changing the version document to the correct version fixed it. Thanks alot! Joeri.

Hi, you could set Boost_DEBUG and Boost_DETAILED_FAILURE_MSG to true and have a look at the messages. I hope, this helps you.

It finds all other dependencies without a hitch but it gives this error for boost: The following Boost libraries could not be found: boost_system boost_filesystem boost_thread boost_date_time boost_iostreams I have been trying to fix this for 2 days now. What I did: I build my own libraries with boost.build using the following commands: >b2 >toolset=gcc >--build-dir=C:\boost >--build-type=complete This build the library successfully. Adding the files (libboost_thread-mgw46-mt-1_49.dll) etc to the lib folder in my boost installation doesn't allow cmake to find them though. It does however find the include directory without a hitch. Even manually linking Cmake to the (correct) libraries doesn't allow it to find them. How do I get cmake to find these lib's? Also: boost_thread doesnt exist on my computer but "libboost_thread-mgw46-mt-1_49.dll" and 20 different versions of it with different letters at mt do. is there a way that I can see what file Cmake is looking for exactly? Version etc: Cmake:2.8.7 Cmake generator: Mingw makefiles Compiler: GCC. Boost v:1.49.0 Windows 7 Thanks for any help, Joeri. -- Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake -- Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
