I have been trying to install boost for a while now, and I simply cannot get it to work. I will go over everything I have done, so probably it will be easier to understand why it is not working.
I started to clone Simple-WebSocket-Server
https://gitlab.com/eidheim/Simple-WebSocket-Server
I downloaded boost 1.67
https://dl.bintray.com/boostorg/release/1.67.0/source/
From the documentation
https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_67_0/more/getting_started/windows.html
I build everything using
bootstrap
.2
Output:
The Boost C++ Libraries were successfully built!
The following directory should be added to compiler include paths:
D:oost_1_67_0
The following directory should be added to linker library paths:
D:oost_1_67_0stagelib
When I try use cmake with the Simple-WebSocket-Server, I get the following output
CMake Warning at C:/Program Files/CMake/share/cmake-3.12/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:577 (message):

Boost's headers.

After much searching, I have tried the following options
CMake finds Boost but the imported targets not available for Boost version
I already have the latest CMake (3.12.1)
CMake with Boost library Windows 10 Library not found correctly
I tried rebuilding with these options
bootstrap.bat
b2 link=static runtime-link=static release stage
but still does not work
Following other answers, I added
set(BOOST_ROOT "D:/boost_1_67_0/")
and with, and without
set(BOOST_INCLUDEDIR "D:/boost_1_67_0/")
set(BOOST_LIBRARYDIR "D:/boost_1_67_0/libs")
I have tried many variations of BOOST_INCLUDEDIR and BOOST_LIBRARYDIR, including to the msvc specific dir lib64-msvc-14.1
to the CMakeList.txt (Not prefered, as I want the project to be untouched)
changes the error to
[ C:/Program Files/CMake/share/cmake-3.12/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:1883 ] Boost_FOUND = 1
Unable to find the requested Boost libraries.
Boost version: 1.67.0
Boost include path: D:/boost_1_67_0
Could not find the following Boost libraries:
boost_system
boost_thread
boost_coroutine
boost_context
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):
src/extlibs/Simple-WebSocket-Server/CMakeLists.txt:36 (find_package)
I searched through the boost directory, and I have the 'missing' modules
I have even tried extract pre-built binaries, in case my build was faulty
https://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost-binaries/1.67.0/
The only thing that I have not tried yet is
CMake Boost Libraries Not Found Windows7
but should not be necessary?
I have noticed that I have one difference from what
https://stackoverflow.com/a/33380087/9230431
says. I do not have a include directory inside the boost_1_67_0 root directory.
