Hi David,

Boost changed its naming scheme starting from version 1.66. So its not your fault but the FindBoost.cmake does not know how to handle the new scheme. Try to use one of the 3.11.0-rc[1-3] versions that has the proper naming scheme handling of 1.66 or use the 1.65.1 that is the last version with the old naming scheme.

Cheers Volker

Hello all,

I've built Booost 1.66 on Windows with Visual Studio 2017 using the following invocation:

     .\b2
         link=shared
         runtime-link=shared
         threading=multi
         toolset=msvc
         variant=debug
         address-model=64
         install --prefix=C:/env/vs/amd64d

Then, the C:/env/vs/amd64d tree is filled like this:

   - lib/boost_timer-vc141-mt-gd-x64-1_66.lib (and so on)
   - include/boost-1_66/boost/{asio/assign,...}

I create a sample CMake project:

     cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5)
     project(foo)
     find_package(Boost REQUIRED COMPONENTS timer)

I set CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH and run CMake

     set CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=C:/env/vs/amd64d/
     cmake . -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64"

     [...]

I can't understand what I am missing because it's not the first time I use boost on Windows though. I've tried set BOOST_ROOT to the same value as CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH with no results.
