CMake is not finding Boost

Question

I am trying to install CGAL. They describe their installation process as ever-so-simple here, section 6.1. When I run cmake-gui and then click configure

Answer 1

1. CGAL uses the shared Boost libraries. So, the libraries like "libboost_thread-vc100-mt-p-1_49.lib" are statically linked libraries.

2. It's because CMake (I used v2.8.9) can not read the name of Boost libraries correctly. When I changed the library names, boost_thread-vc100-mt-p-1_49.dll and boost_thread-vc100-mt-p-1_49.lib to boost_thread-vc100-mt-1_49.dll and boost_thread-vc100-mt-1_49, respectively, it fixed the problem.
