You do NOT have to rename any files! Doing so completely defeats the purpose of 
a find module.

Additionally, .lib files for Microsoft compilers do NOT start like libxxx.lib 
but only xxx.lib
Building boost with your compiler should give you the right files as-is.

Why are you reading documentation of cmake 3.0 when using cmake 3.5? I cannot 
find anything in the documentation of the boost find module about renaming.
However it documents steps to debug problems.

[CMake] Building with Cmake using Boost problem

[Karel Geiregat]

Dear people at cmake


Today, I have a problem with using cmake and Boost to build up Apache Avro
, which is a data-serializer.I have to use that
"avro" which can be built with cmake and boost. However, there is a problem
when building up the component by using the CMakeLists.txt file.

I have put an SO question

on this matter, but there, I didn't have gotten an useful answer/comment so
far. After placing the question, i have done further searches in the
meanwhile to find a solution. I have now the latest, stable builds, but
still no success.

First, the versions of Cmake and Boost and my OS:

   - cmake: v3.5.0
   - Boost: v1.60.0
   - OS: Windows 10 64 bit

cmake is a part of the system path:

Now, I want to build up avro, you have to use cmake. My target platform is
C++, so i used the C++ version there. The CMakeLists.txt content is here

Re: [CMake] Building with Cmake using Boost problem (Karel Geiregat)

[Karel Geiregat]

OH GOD !

Just saying, i have spent 3 days finding a solution to this problem since
the files got provided from a 3th party provider. The team that got
assigned to this project asked me (i'm senior QA and responsible for
further development). In the meanwhile, this project has to be set in
standby phase because of the building problems.

We, all, and especially I certainly have overlooked on that part. I didn't
understood it well. When i have generated the dll's using the build process
described in Boost manuals ... cmake found the libraries !
Now, an other issue arises. But at least cmake is now able to find the
boost libraries ^^

Thanks !

Re: [CMake] Building with Cmake using Boost problem (Karel Geiregat)

[Knox, Kent]

It looks like you built static libraries with b2:
PS D:\software\boost_1_60_0\stage\lib> Get-ChildItem libboost_filesystem*
> -name
> libboost_filesystem-vc140-mt-1_60.lib
> libboost_filesystem-vc140-mt-gd-1_60.lib

But I believe you are telling cmake (or boost preprocessor?) to search for 
dynamic libraries:
> add_definitions (
> -DBOOST_REGEX_DYN_LINK
> -DBOOST_FILESYSTEM_DYN_LINK
> -DBOOST_SYSTEM_DYN_LINK

Try building dynamic (.dll w/ import libs) boost libraries and see if cmake 
finds them.
