CMake found and NOT found boost simultaneously

I am trying to install ismrmrd and following the installation guide for Windows.

In the step cmake-gui.exe my cmake is not finding installed Boost.

cmake-gui.exe

After adding those lines to CMakeLists.txt the result became interesting.

CMakeLists.txt

Any ideas?

UPDATE 8/21

thanks vre and user1234567

Now I changed to boost 1.66 and still no luck.

The new screenshot shows FindBoost is not complain anything now.
But still not any boost found.

UPDATE 8/22

After adding

cmake_policy(SET CMP0074 NEW)

cmake_policy(SET CMP0074 NEW)

and

set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON) set(Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED ON) find_package(Boost REQUIRED system filesystem) include_directories($Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS) target_link_libraries(ismrmrd $Boost_LIBRARIES) into CMakeLists.txt by the suggestion from vre

set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON) set(Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED ON) find_package(Boost REQUIRED system filesystem) include_directories($Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS)

target_link_libraries(ismrmrd $Boost_LIBRARIES)

CMakeLists.txt

The resulting error became this screenshot

set(Boost_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS 1.68.0 1.68)

https://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost-binaries/

set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON) set(Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED ON) find_package(Boost REQUIRED system filesystem) include_directories($Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS)

target_link_libraries(your_target $Boost_LIBRARIES)

As it is to long for comments I try to come up with a recipe:

The commands needed for using Boost header only/static libraries are:

set(Boost_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS 1.66.0 1.66)
set(BOOST_ROOT "C:/local/boost_1_66_0")
set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON)
set(Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED ON)


For using solely header only libraries use

find_package(Boost)


otherwise name the components (libraries) to be used after the COMPONENTS keyword and use

find_package(Boost COMPONENTS <e.g. filesystem system ...>)

if (Boost_FOUND)
include_directories($Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS)
add_definitions( "-DHAS_BOOST" )
endif()


Later you reference the imported targets (libraries) for header only Boost in a call

target_link_libraries(yourproject Boost::boost)


or for named library components in a call

target_link_libraries(yourproject $Boost_LIBRARIES)


Be sure to always delete the CMakeCache.txt file in the build directory when making changes to the CMakeLists.txt regarding Boost and Boost components, as it might cache the values of a previous CMake run.
