Does anyone have a working installation of Boost 1.63 on Windows that FindBoost.cmake can be instructed to find? I tried with both a custom build (for MSMPI mostly) that it failed to find the libraries of, and after reading through FindBoost.cmake, I saw it is dominantly tailored towards the prebuilt binaries (at least on Windows), so I grabbed that, I set BOOSTROOT to the installation root, but it still fails to find Boost::chrono I got find_package(Boost 1.63 REQUIRED COMPONENTS chrono) include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS}) in my top-level CMakeLists.txt file, as all of my targets depend on chrono, and after that I use target_link_libraries (${declare_trisycl_test_TARGET} $<$<BOOL:USES_OPENCL>:${OpenCL_LIBRARIES}> $<$<NOT:$<BOOL:WIN32>>:Threads::Threads> Boost::chrono) On the command-line this is what I get at configure time: CMake Error at C:/Kellekek/Kitware/CMake/3.8.0/share/cmake-3.8/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:1812 (message): Unable to find the requested Boost libraries. Boost version: 1.63.0 Boost include path: C:/Kellekek/Boost/1.63.0-prebuilt Could not find the following Boost libraries: boost_chrono Some (but not all) of the required Boost libraries were found. You may need to install these additional Boost libraries. Alternatively, set BOOST_LIBRARYDIR to the directory containing Boost libraries or BOOST_ROOT to the location of Boost. Call Stack (most recent call first): CMakeLists.txt:26 (find_package) As far as FindBoost.cmake goes, it seems to know chrono for 1.63. So how should this work?
