So I'm trying to get my cmake to work with conan/boost. For this I have a simple conan file:
from conans import ConanFile
class Boost_Conan_Cmake_MinimalConfig(ConanFile):
name = "Boost_Conan_Cmake_MinimalConfig"
generators = "cmake"
options = {"shared": [True, False], "st": [True, False]}
default_options = {"shared": False, "st": True}
def requirements(self):
self.requires("boost/1.69.0#_/_")
self.options["boost"].shared = False
I call this via conan install . --build=missing. This runs perfectly fine and installs boost without problems. When investigating into the folder you can also find all the boost libraries etc.
Next comes my CMakeList.txt. It's pretty straight forward:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.0)
# CHANGE PROJECT NAME, SOURCES AND DEPENDANT TARGETS
project(boost-conan CXX)
include(conanbuildinfo.cmake)
conan_basic_setup()
set(TARGET_NAME ${PROJECT_NAME})
set(${TARGET_NAME}_SRC src/main.cpp)
find_package(Boost 1.69.0 REQUIRED COMPONENTS filesystem)
add_executable(test "src/main.cpp")
target_include_directories(test PUBLIC $(Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS))
target_link_libraries(test Boost::filesystem)
However, when I try to run this CMake file I get an error:

Does anyone have an idea how to fix this? Or does anyone have an idea why this error occurs? The Error message alone doesn't really help...
Thanks in advance!

I am following the instructions from https://badprog.com/c-boost-setting-up-on-windows-10 . I have Visual Studio 2017 installed, and installed boost_1_71_0-msvc-14.1-64.exe. CMake was downloaded from cmake.org/download/, cmake-3.19.0-rc1-win64-x64.msi.
I have a project that needs Boost Beast, which I believe is 1.70 or higher.
When I run cmake . everything seems fine:
C:\Users\Public\xyz>cmake .

The resulting project opens in Visual Studio 2017, but then complains it needs the 2019 build tools. Surprisingly, as you can see above, it's building for Visual Studio 2019?
But, after killing CMakeCache.txt and CMakeFiles, if I do this:

Suddenly it can't find Boost components (but can find Boost?). I've tried various forms of -DBOOST_LIBRARYDIR or -DBOOST_ROOT, etc., to no avail, but I don't seem to have the usual stackoverflow problem of cmake not being able to find Boost; instead it doesn't seem to recognize the Visual Studio 2017 target, despite having been installed for msvc-14.1?
CMakeLists.txt:

In the end, the issue was simple. If I may so, it was an easy mistake for a beginner to make but almost impossible for a beginner to unravel with regular google searching.
When I issued cmake ., it was defaulting to a 64 bit build, but assuming a Visual Studio 2019 target. That was wrong.
The equivalent should have been cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" . But not knowing this, and following the wrong tutorials, I was issuing instead cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017" .. This defaulted to a 32 bit build - though by default it never mentions this fact. It could find boost, but all library files were for 64 bit and useless for 32 bit, so it simply said "I can't find anything!".
My thanks to #Tsyvarev, who should get the credit for the answer. Turning on DEBUG and looking at searched library files character by character was indeed the right call.
I built PCL on windows using VCPKG(MS Visual studio 2017). I am trying to build a CPP application with PCL using cmake 3.12 with the following CMakelists.txt.
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8 FATAL_ERROR)
project(compute)
find_package(PCL 1.5 REQUIRED)
include_directories(${PCL_INCLUDE_DIRS})
link_directories(${PCL_LIBRARY_DIRS})
add_definitions(${PCL_DEFINITIONS})
add_executable (compute compute.cpp)
target_link_libraries (compute ${PCL_LIBRARIES})
I also set the following environment variables.
set PCL_INCLUDE_DIRS="C:\vcpkg-pcl\vcpkg-master\installed\x64-windows\include\pcl"
SET PCL_LIBRARY_DIRS="C:\vcpkg-pcl\vcpkg-master\installed\x64-windows\lib"
set PCL_LIBRARIES="pcl_common_release.lib;pcl_features_release.lib;pcl_filters_release.lib;pcl_io_ply_release.lib;pcl_io_release.lib"
I initially got an error saying it is unable to find the file FindPCL.cmake and eventually PCLConfig.cmake or PCL-Config.cmake. I set the environment variable
set PCL_DIR=C:\vcpkg-pcl\vcpkg-master\installed\x64-windows\share\pcl
where the PCLConfig.cmake is installed. It was able to detect the file. However,
it is unable to detect PCL(pcl_report_not_found) with the following error.

Now that I've looked through other peoples solutions for several hours and could not find quite the right answer for my problem I would like to bring my specific problem to you. :)

It cannot find the static Boost libraries. Now, I've tried playing around with the CMakeList.txt and here is the part of it that would be supposed to handle the linking:

endif()

I have also tried using a newer boost version (1.67) with same results. Any help will be dearly appreciated!
Check if your compiled libraries are in the following directory:
C:/Program Files/Boost/boost_1_55_0/stage/libs
If not, set your lib folder directory path:
set(BOOST_LIBRARYDIR path_to_lib_directory)
As #Tsyvarev suggested I used set(Boost_DEBUG ON) to trace the exact locations and files that CMake was looking for and the discovered several problems:
1.) Setting the path to "C:/Program Files/Boost/boost_1_55_0"
causes problems, because of the space in the path
2.) It searched for the libraries covering multiple formats like: boost_thread-vc141-mt-gd-x32-1_55.lib.
However, when I built boost with incorrect parameters, so my libs were built like this:
libboost_thread-vc-mt-1_55.lib, which is not of the correct format.
3.) Unfortunately adding other options when building boost, e.g.:
b2 toolset=msvc-14.1 address-model=32 --build-type=complete
caused other errors. Also building boost_1_67_0 manually worked for me at all.
My solution to the problem was to simply take one of the third-party download( https://dl.bintray.com/boostorg/release/1.67.0/binaries/). This way all the libraries were built correctly and I had no trouble linking to them.
I have the following CMakeLists.txt:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.7)
project(TestProject)
message(STATUS "start running cmake...")
find_package(Boost 1.61.0 COMPONENTS system filesystem REQUIRED)
set(SOURCE_FILES main.cpp)
add_executable(TestProject ${SOURCE_FILES})
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -std=c++11")
include_directories(TestProject $ENV{MYSQL_INCLUDE_DIR})
target_link_libraries(TestProject $ENV{MYSQL_LIBRARIES})
if (Boost_FOUND)
message(STATUS "Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS: ${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS}")
message(STATUS "Boost_LIBRARIES: ${Boost_LIBRARIES}")
message(STATUS "Boost_VERSION: ${Boost_VERSION}")
include_directories(TestProject ${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
target_link_libraries(TestProject ${Boost_LIBRARIES})
endif ()

AIM: Get the MySQL and Boost include files and libraries paths correct when building C++ project using cmake
How do I set my env. correctly so that cmake is able to find all the required include file and libraries?
Maybe you have no F:/MinGW/bin in your PATH variable?
Also, which MinGW distro you use? I would recommend you this one http://www.msys2.org/. It has very handy package manager.
You just do
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-boost
and CMake finds boost without any special environment configuration.

This was asked a few years back, but for anybody that is still running into this problem-- the default download instructions on the PCL website help install PCL 1.6.0, which is an old version of PCL that has this little "bug" with regards to boost.
Instead, head over to their Github page and download the latest release here:
https://github.com/PointCloudLibrary/pcl/releases
for this bug has been fixed in the later releases.
