SyntaxFix

[c++] CMake is not able to find BOOST libraries

I'm using this to set up boost from cmake in my CMakeLists.txt. Try something similar (make sure to update paths to your installation of boost).

SET (BOOST_ROOT "/opt/boost/boost_1_57_0")
SET (BOOST_INCLUDEDIR "/opt/boost/boost-1.57.0/include")
SET (BOOST_LIBRARYDIR "/opt/boost/boost-1.57.0/lib")

SET (BOOST_MIN_VERSION "1.55.0")
set (Boost_NO_BOOST_CMAKE ON)
FIND_PACKAGE(Boost ${BOOST_MIN_VERSION} REQUIRED)
if (NOT Boost_FOUND)
  message(FATAL_ERROR "Fatal error: Boost (version >= 1.55) required.")
else()
  message(STATUS "Setting up BOOST")
  message(STATUS " Includes - ${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS}")
  message(STATUS " Library  - ${Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS}")
  include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
  link_directories(${Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS})
endif (NOT Boost_FOUND)

This will either search default paths (/usr, /usr/local) or the path provided through the cmake variables (BOOST_ROOT, BOOST_INCLUDEDIR, BOOST_LIBRARYDIR). It works for me on cmake > 2.6.
