I think I'm going crazy. For some weird reason, I cannot get cmake to find boost_python. I've always used the same CMakeList and the same steps for installing Boost with Boost-Python support on macOS. On GNU/Linux and Windows I usually just build the library manually and it works just fine. Several months ago it also just worked perfectly fine on macOS by issuing the following commands:
brew install python2 boost boost-python
(I'm specifically using python2 and not python3)
I've no idea what's causing this issue because I've never had it before... perhaps it can't find the boost-python library from brew? (/usr/local/Cellar/boost-python/1.67.0/lib/). But then again, I never bothered with changing search paths for cmake or anything like that. This CMakeList always worked both under Linux and macOS.

#Tsyvarev this. I needed to change the COMPONENTS as "python27". This behavior definitely changed over the time. I don't remember having to do this at boost release >= 1.65 <= 1.67. Thanks.

I have downloaded and build Boost as described in the Getting Started on Windows Documentation.
Now i want to link a sample program to that Version of Boost via CMake.
This is my current Folder Structure:
cmake-boost
- boost_1_73_0/ (Boost folder)
- build/
- CMakeLists.txt
- cmake-boost.cpp
This is the content of my CMakeLists.txt File:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5 FATAL_ERROR)
project(cmake-boost LANGUAGES CXX)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)
set(CMAKE_CXX_EXTENSIONS OFF)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON)
set(BOOST_ROOT "boost_1_73_0")
set(BOOST_LIBRARYDIR "boost_1_73_0/stage/lib")
find_package(Boost REQUIRED COMPONENTS regex)
if(Boost_FOUND)
message(STATUS "Success!")
endif()
add_executable(cmake-boost cmake-boost.cpp)
target_link_libraries(cmake-boost
PUBLIC
Boost::regex
)
If i run cmake .. from inside the build Folder all i get is the following Message saying it could not find the requested Library.

I have noticed two things which are possible wrong:
This line -- [ C:/Program Files/CMake/share/cmake-3.14/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:1484 ] guessed _boost_COMPILER = -vc141;-vc140 but if i look at the .lib Files generated during the build of boost, they have the -vc142 in their name
It seems that cmake searching the right folder but with the wrong name of the library file. It uses the name boost_regex-vc141-mt-x64-1_73 but the lib files from my boost build startet with lib like libboost_regex-vc142-mt-x64-1_73.lib
I solved the first issue by adding -DBoost_COMPILER=-v142 to the cmake command. But i could not set the Boost_LIB_PREFIX with -DBoost_LIB_PREFIX=lib
I have found a solution.
As mentioned in the last edit I made to my question, the first issue with the compiler could be fixed with the -DBoost_COMPILER=-vc142 option.
The second could be solved by using the -DBoost_USE_STATIC_LIBS=ON.
So the set block in the CMakeLists for boost is now:
set(BOOST_ROOT "boost_1_73_0")
set(Boost_COMPILER "-vc142")
set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON)
With these variables set, CMake runs without any problems.
I'm trying to use the Boost library in my C++ project on Windows using CLion and MinGWMSVC. I downloaded the precompiled binaries here and extracted everything to C:\local\boost_1_69_0_b1_rc3. I setup the following CMakeLists.txt:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.11.4)
project(BoostTesting)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)
set(BOOST_ROOT "C:/local/boost_1_69_0_b1_rc3")
set(BOOST_LIBRARYDIR "C:/local/boost_1_69_0_b1_rc3/lib64-msvc-14.1")
set(BOOST_INCLUDEDIR "C:/local/boost_1_69_0_b1_rc3/boost")
set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON)
set(Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED ON)
set(Boost_USE_STATIC_RUNTIME OFF)
set(Boost_DEBUG ON)
set(Boost_DETAILED_FAILURE_MSG ON)
set(Boost_COMPILER "-vc141")
set(Boost_ARCHITECTURE "-x64")
find_package(Boost 1.69.0 COMPONENTS filesystem REQUIRED)
if (Boost_FOUND)
include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
add_executable(BoostTesting main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(BoostTesting ${Boost_LIBRARIES})
endif ()

CMake is looking for those specific files but I noticed that the -x64 indication is not part of the searched file names. My directory only contains 64-bit libraries:
Why is the Boost_ARCHITECTURE environment variable ignored? I expect it to add the missing -x64 to the searched file names. If I manually rename the libboost_filesystem-vc141-mt*.lib files they can be found by CMake. However, if I compile and link my simple main.cpp I'm getting a linker error:

I'm pretty sure renaming the files is not the proper way of doing it. But even this way it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong and how do you properly use Boost in a simple C++ project like this one?
I believe find_package(Boost ...) has failed in your case as it won't be able to find the REQUIRED filesystem library for 64-bit GCC.
Make sure you have the GCC build of Boost available as well, because now you're only showing the V++ libraries.
You got CMake warning
New Boost version may have incorrect or missing dependencies and imported targets
because that CMake version does not prepared for boost 1.69 (Maybe latest CMake does...).
So CMake tries its best to recognize that version, so it still may work (see point 3 below).
#Felix Natter correctly pointed out above that Boost_ARCHITECTURE is handled only from CMake 3.13.
You can make it work without manual renaming, without GCC or MINGW, if you rebuild your boost with one of the file naming "layouts", your CMake recognizes.
(From your debug log these ones:
libboost_<module name>-<toolset>[-mt]-<ABI tag>-<boost version>
libboost_<module name>-<toolset>[-mt]-<ABI tag>
libboost_<module name>[-mt]-<ABI tag>-<boost version>
libboost_<module name>[-mt]
libboost_<module name>)
Unfortunately only the system layout matches, which means you need to separate Debug and Release builds in different "lib" folders. For explanation about the "layout" parameter see here.
So rebuild boost by specifying the --layout=system parameter, and also decide the variant by specifying variant=debug or variant=release.
As a starting point, on SF you can find the build log file:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost-binaries/1.69.0/boost_1_69_0-64bitlog.txt/download
The last build "entry" in the file is for vc141, which is your version:
b2 -j%NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS% --without-mpi --build-type=complete toolset=msvc-14.1 address-model=64 architecture=x86 --prefix=.\ --libdir=lib64-msvc-14.1 --includedir=garbage_headers install
Go to your boost source root and do > bootstrap first.
Make sure msvc-14.1 was detected.
Now build:
> b2 -a -j%NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS% --without-mpi --with-filesystem toolset=msvc-14.1 address-model=64 architecture=x86 variant=debug --layout=system --prefix=C:\boost_build\debug
Do it for Release in a different target directory.
Change --prefix according to your needs. You may also specify --libdir and --includedir if the default is not good for you.
Of course, probably you need to modify your CMakeList file so that it can use both the Debug and Release variants...
So the best is to use a CMake version, which recognizes boost ver 1.69, and/or get a CMake-based version of boost, which includes 1.69.
set(Boost_ARCHITECTURE "-x64")
only works with cmake >= 3.13 [1] [2]. If you cannot upgrade to cmake 3.13+,
you can work around with:
set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_ARCHITECTURE_ID, "x64")
(not sure under what conditions this is set automatically)
[1] https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.12/module/FindBoost.html
[2] https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.13/module/FindBoost.html
It turns out it works when using the MinGW distribution with built-in Boost.
CMakeLists.txt:

endif ()

It compiled and linked successfully.
I am working on a project and using CMake to build the project. The project works flawlessly on Windows but I want to make a Linux variant using the same CMakeLists.txt file.
Here is the relevant part of my CMakeLists.txt file:
if(WIN32)
set(BOOST_ROOT "C:\\Boost")
set(BOOST_INCLUDEDIR "C:\\Boost\\include\\boost-1_68")
endif(WIN32)

endif(UNIX)
set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON)
set(Boost_USE_DEBUG_LIBS OFF)
find_package(Boost REQUIRED random filesystem serialization)
include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
I installed Boost using the command sudo apt install libboost_all-dev.
I get the errors shown below when I try to configure the project.

Verify that the libraries are in the include path. This may be a bug in your cmake package or your Boost package.
For me, on Fedora, these libraries are in /usr/lib64. On Ubuntu (and from what I could find, Linux Mint) they should be in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu.
A temporary solution would be to add the directory to the include_directories statement. You might also find this question helpful.
I have a library that is a Python extension (pyd) and to be able to debug it I need to compile with Multi-threaded DLL (/MD) Runtime Libraries.
This works great until I injected a Boost dependency.
But first time I call a Boost function the code crashes with a read access violation exception.
After some investigation it turns out cmake find_package(Boost) pulls in the boost libraries build with a different run-time library i.e.boost_filesystem-vc140-mt-gd.lib
I have put this in an easy test case.
Build boost using vcpkg:
git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git
.\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
vcpkg install boost
This only generates the -mt and -md-gd boost libraries.

I believe the issue just has to do with how you tell vcpkg to build boost when installing it. You can specify static or dynamic linking by specifying what they call triplets.
So for you: vcpkg install boost --triplet x64-windows-static
This will build the boost libraries for use with static linking.
The version of the library with an -mt is the correct one for linking to /MD ; confusingly the static library would have an s but does not seem what you want from the remarks at the beginning. You were loading the mt-gd versions which are just the debug versions of these libraries; I suppose they expect the calling python to be the debug version as well.
I am trying to install and use Boost 1.60.0 in my new C++ project. (I use Ubuntu, CLion and CMake for developing and building).
What have I done?
I downloaded Boost from the link provided on the website.
Extracted into /devenv/boost160 (/devenv/boost160 is the root, after I renamed the original folder)
I ran ./bootstrap.sh from /devenv/boost160 (everything went ok; according to their official documentation, running this without arguments, takes the output into /usr/local) and it went smoothly.
I created a CLion project and added the following to CMakeLists.txt.
set(BOOST_ROOT /usr/local/include/boost)
set(BOOST_LIBRARYDIR /usr/local/lib)
set(Boost_USE_MULTITHREAD ON)
set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON)
set(Boost_DEBUG ON)
find_package(Boost 1.60.0 REQUIRED COMPONENTS asio date_time)
IF (Boost_FOUND)
include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIR})
endif()
I ran the CLion's Build command and I got the following output, basically saying that it's unable to find boost_asio.

How can I use Boost 1.60.0 in my project given my configuration? Thank you!
Boost.Asio is a header-only library. The standard CMake function to locate Boost components (FindBoost.cmake) considers only components with pre-built libraries as components, assuming that the header-only components are installed completed with the rest of Boost headers. So you should use find_package(Boost 1.60.0 REQUIRED date_time) (date_time actually has pre-built library and can be located by the FindBoost.cmake).
I'd say that FindBoost.cmake could be enhanced to hide difference between header-only libraries and the real, pre-built ones for application developers. But right now it's the responsibility of the latters.
Edit Regarding the error with system_category: you need Boost.System library as well, so the find_package invocation should look like find_package(Boost 1.60.0 REQUIRED date_time system) and then use Boost_SYSTEM_LIBRARY in target_link_libraries. Unfortunately it seems that Boost still uses it's own implementation of system_category while the latter was standardized in C++11
