Re: [Boost-users] FindBoost.cmake does not check for include headers

Sorry, Roger,

my mail was not clear enough. I meant to use FindBoost through a command like

find_package(Boost 1.48.0 COMPONENTS date_time program_options REQUIRED)

i.e. I want to check the presence of *specific* Boost components. Needed e.g. under Debian, where users are free to install whatever subset of Boost.

Package date_time has a header file named 'date_time.hpp'; package program_option has 'program_options.hpp'.

Isn't this long-term stable? Why not check for the presence of these files?

Just for the record, for the original query on boost-users, there is now a patch ready for testing to address this: http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/cmake-developers/2016-May/028358.html Regards, Roger
