您需要将环境变量 BOOST_ROOT 设置为 C：\\ boost_1_55_0 运行前 cmake的。另外，也要看看 cmake的--help模块FindBoost 以获得更多帮助。

I'm using a windows system. I want to use the Boost library using CMake. I've installed boost on C:\boost_1_55_0\ Here is my CMakeLists.txt file

set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS        ON)
set(Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED      ON)
set(Boost_USE_STATIC_RUNTIME    OFF)
find_package(Boost 1.55.0 COMPONENTS thread)

if(Boost_FOUND)
    include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS}) 
    LINK_DIRECTORIES(${Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS})
    add_executable (linking_with_boost main.cc sqr.cc)
    target_link_libraries(linking_with_boost ${Boost_LIBRARIES})
else()
    message(STATUS "Fail  asdasd!")
endif()

I'm getting --Could NOT find Boost Output:

$ cmake ../
-- Could NOT find Boost
-- Fail  asdasd!
-- Configuring done
-- Generating done
-- Build files have been written to: D:/ubuntu_share/programming/C++/practice/cm

You need to set the environment variable BOOST_ROOT to c:\boost_1_55_0 before running cmake. Also look at cmake --help-module FindBoost for more help.
