I'm trying to cross compile a project which require boost property_tree but I'm having trouble with the CMake on windows.
On my system, boost is located at C:/Program Files (x86)/boost/boost_1_66_0 and the headers file are located in the boost subdirectory. I therefore set those in my CMakeLists.txt
SET (BOOST_ROOT "C:/Program Files (x86)/boost/boost_1_66_0")
SET (BOOST_INCLUDEDIR "${BOOST_ROOT}/boost")
SET(Boost_DEBUG ON)
find_package(Boost REQUIRED COMPONENTS
property_tree )
But Cmake give me the following error:

Any idea of what I am doing wrong ?

So after installing VS 2022 and downloading and compiling boost 1.82, I was trying to get a test project running, one that is supposed to compile cross platform (new feature in VS 2022 or was it there in previous versions as well??). I created a new VC++ project and solution from within VS as File > New > Project > CMake Project.
And after modifying the CMakeLists.txt file as:
...
set (BOOST_ROOT "C:/boost/boost")
set (BOOST_INCLUDEDIR "C:/boost/boost/include")
set (BOOST_LIBRARYDIR "C:/boost/boost/stage/lib")
set (BOOST_MIN_VERSION "1.82.0")
set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON)
set(Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED ON)
set(Boost_USE_STATIC_RUNTIME OFF)
set(Boost_DEBUG ON)
find_package(Boost ${BOOST_MIN_VERSION} COMPONENTS date_time REQUIRED)
if (NOT Boost_FOUND)
message(FATAL_ERROR "Fatal error: Boost (version >= ${BOOST_MIN_VERSION}) required.")
endif()
include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
link_directories(${Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS})
...
And then did Project > Delete Cache And Reconfigure
The trouble is that it is not able to find the boost libraries and I believe it is because it couldn't figure out what the compiler is:

Here the _boost_COMPILER was detected as _boost_COMPILER = "" (guessed).
Any idea what could be wrong here.. VS is supposed to tell CMake about itself right since I am calling CMake from within it?

After skimming through the entire log the issue seems to be elsewhere than you'd expect.
...
find_package(Boost ${BOOST_MIN_VERSION} COMPONENTS date_time REQUIRED) #<---
...
It says so at the bottom of the log:
#Missing date_time... i.e. it can't find a REQUIRED component
1> [CMake] Could NOT find Boost (missing: date_time) (found suitable version "1.82.0",
1> [CMake] minimum required is "1.82.0")
To properly debug this issue I would recommend going through the paths outputed by these variables here:
1> [...] _boost_LIBRARY_SEARCH_DIRS_RELEASE = "C:/boost/boost/stage/lib;C:/boost/boost/lib;C:/boost/boost/stage/lib;C:/boost/boost/lib;C:/boost/boost/../lib;C:/boost/boost/stage/lib;PATHS;C:/boost/lib;C:/boost;/sw/local/lib"
1> [...] _boost_LIBRARY_SEARCH_DIRS_DEBUG = "C:/boost/boost/stage/lib;C:/boost/boost/lib;C:/boost/boost/stage/lib;C:/boost/boost/lib;C:/boost/boost/../lib;C:/boost/boost/stage/lib;PATHS;C:/boost/lib;C:/boost;/sw/local/lib"
and double check that these libraries are present in the directories (they probably wont)
1> [...] Searching for DATE_TIME_LIBRARY_RELEASE: libboost_date_time-mt-1_82;libboost_date_time-mt;libboost_date_time-mt;libboost_date_time-mt;libboost_date_time
1> [...] Searching for DATE_TIME_LIBRARY_DEBUG: libboost_date_time-mt-d-1_82;libboost_date_time-mt-d;libboost_date_time-mt-d;libboost_date_time-mt;libboost_date_time
I would then check if these libraries exist in the boost folder at all. Chances are they won't and it will most likely be because they are either part of a different component or are just missing from your boost installation.
Try including whole boost to see if that is the case:
find_package(Boost ${BOOST_MIN_VERSION})
Hope it helps!
EDIT: I've managed to replicate your issue and truly it is due to the undetected compiler most likely. As when building the boost it appends the compiler as a suffix (or somewhere mid name) to the library. I.e. if you check the lib dir you can deduct which compiler was being used and perhaps force set the variable through set(Boost_COMPILER "-vcXYZ").
Note that the libboost_date_time-mt-d-1_82 is missing the compiler due to this unset variable. It should look like libboost_date_time-vc142-mt-d-1_82 (if you compiled with vc142)
I'm trying to add boost components date_time in a c++ program using CMake on Windows 10. I'm writing down what I have done so far. Following is the code in CMakeLists.txt
# CMakeList.txt : CMake project for cmake boost with lib, include source and define
# project specific logic here.
#
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.9)
project ("hello")
set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS OFF)
set(Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED ON)
set(Boost_DEBUG ON)
set(Boost_USE_STATIC_RUNTIME OFF)
find_package(Boost 1.76.0 COMPONENTS date_time)
if(Boost_FOUND)
include_directories(${BOOST_INCLUDEDIR})
add_executable(progname file1.cxx file2.cxx)
target_link_libraries(progname ${BOOST_LIBRARYDIR})
endif()
add_executable(hello hello.cpp)
Remember that I have set environment variables BOOST_INCLUDEDIR , BOOST_LIBRARYDIR and BOOST_ROOT as C:\boost_1_76_0 , C:\boost_1_76_0\stage\lib and C:\boost_1_76_0 respectively.
I keep getting this error.

Instead of

add_executable(progname file1.cxx file2.cxx)
target_link_libraries(progname ${BOOST_LIBRARYDIR})
I always recommend using Boost::boost both for nice clean include of headers and linkage
add_executable(progname file1.cxx file2.cxx)
target_link_libraries(progname Boost::boost Boost::date_time)
Also to have more meaning full cmake erros I guess you want to use
find_package(Boost 1.76.0 COMPONENTS date_time REQUIRED) and get rid of the if(Boost_FOUND) except if you have a meaning full alternative if you don't find boost.
I have downloaded and build Boost as described in the Getting Started on Windows Documentation.

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 am trying to add Boost to a C++ application using CMake. I have read through all relevant questions I can find on SO, and I feel I am getting closer to a solution. But the CMake still can't find the requested Boost library for some reasons.
I am trying to find "boost_filesystem". The debug shows CMake is looking for "boost_filesystem-vc141-mt-gd-1_65_1". I do have the file "libboost_filesystem-vc141-mt-gd-1_65_1.lib" in the folder "C:\boost\boost_1_65_1\stage\lib". I suppose this is the file CMake is looking for, but for some reasons CMake says it can't find it.
Here is the procedure I used to build the Boost. This may be too much details for most people but I suspect it may be helpful to another newbie.
download and extract Boost 1.65.1 in folder C:\boost\boost_1_65_1
go to developer prompt command line and run bootstrap.bat under the above folder.
updated file visualc.hpp under C:\boost\boost_1_65_1\boost\config\compiler (see Unknown compiler version while compiling Boost with MSVC 14.0 (VS 2015)!
Replaced the lines in the bottom of the file visualc.hpp :
// last known and checked version is 19.11.25506 (VC++ 2017.3):
#if (_MSC_VER > 1911)
with
// last known and checked version is 19.13.26128 (VC++ 2017.5.6):
#if (_MSC_VER > 1913)
Open another file project-config.jam under the folder boost_1_65_1 and updated the second line to the following:
using msvc : 14.1 : "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017
\Professional\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.13.26128\bin\Hostx64\x64\cl.exe" ;
Go back to developer prompt command line and run the following to build Boost:
b2 toolset=msvc-14.1 address-model=64
It seems I have done the following items correctly:
properly built the libraries, though not using the default directory. I confirmed that the requested library is built.
assigned the path correctly to the CMake designated directories
used CMake find_package() correctly
Here are the relevant versions I am using:
VS: 2017 v15.6.1 with CMake 3.10
Boost version: 1.65.1, built with tool MSVC 14.1
Here is the CMakelist.txt:

libboost_filesystem-vc141-mt-gd-1_65_1.lib is the static version of the filesystem library (the name starts with lib)
In CMake you are searching for the dynamic version:
set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS OFF)
This cannot work. Now you have to options:
switch the OFF to ON
rebuild boost with the following addition:
b2 toolset=msvc-14.1 address-model=64 --build-type=complete
The command --build-type=complete build all supported variants of the libraries. Just to be on the safe side ;-)
I am new to Cmake and boost libraries in C++. I am working on a project that needs boost and Cmake. I am using Cmake version 2.8.11, MS Visual Studio 2013 and Boost 1.54.0. When I try to configure from Cmake, it is giving the following error:

CMake Error at C:/Program Files/CMake 2.8/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:1106 (message):
Unable to find the requested Boost libraries.
Boost version: 1.54.0
Boost include path: D:/boost_1_54_0
The following Boost libraries could not be found:
boost_thread
boost_system
boost_log
boost_log_setup
boost_program_options
No Boost libraries were found. You may need to 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)
I have also tried writing set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON), but unfortunately it did not help. Suggestions are most welcome. Thanks.
Your configuration looks a bit weird and dirty. Especially things like:
ADD_DEFINITIONS(-DBoost_USE_STATIC_LIBS=ON)
It's not a C/C++ preprocessor definition! It's a CMake variable which is used to control how CMake will define the linkage stage of your project with Boost libraries.
If you properly compiled Boost and didn't mess up anything, then the directory structure usually looks like this:
<boost-dir>
include
boost
accumulators
...
aligned_storage.hpp
...
lib
libboost_atomic-mt-s.a
...
NOTE: The root directory of Boost, <boost-dir>, appears to be D:/boost_1_54_0 in your case.
If in your case it does not look like above, then I'd suggest to rearrange it manually to the one above since, once again, this is how it should be.
When done, let's do some CMake configuration. I suggest to keep things simple and clean in the first place, and obey the CMake conventions. Test the following:
set(BOOST_INCLUDEDIR D:/boost_1_54_0/include)
set(BOOST_LIBRARYDIR D:/boost_1_54_0/lib)
NOTE: You can find thorough description of both of these variables at the top of FindBoost.cmake.
set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON)
set(Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED ON)
NOTE: This is how you enforce static linkage by setting the CMake variable properly, but not like you did by setting a non-existent C/C++ preprocessor definition.
find_package(Boost
1.54.0
COMPONENTS thread
system
log
log_setup
program_options
REQUIRED)
include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
target_link_libraries(<target_name> ${Boost_LIBRARIES})
NOTE: Instead of <target_name>, put the name of the target that you wish to build (executable, static/shared library, etc.).
Boost 1.54.0 cannot be built with VS2013 without applying some patches. See also here How do I build boost with new Visual Studio 2013 preview?
If you build it correctly, everything else should work.
In the lib folder, rename:
libboost_thread-vc100-mt-1_49.lib to boost_thread-vc100-mt-1_49.lib
libboost_thread-vc100-mt-gd-1_49.lib to boost_thread-vc100-mt-gd-1_49.lib
... and so on. Then they can be found.
