CMake doesn't find boost

问题:

Windows 7. 64bit. CMake 2.8.10.

Steps:

• download boost: http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.51.0/
• put it to C:\work\lib\boost_1_51_0-MT
• open "Start->All Programs->Microsoft Visual Studio 2010->Visual Studio Tools->Visual Studio Command Prompt (2010)"
• command:  

cd C:\work\lib\boost_1_51_0-MT
bootstrap.bat
bjam --toolset=msvc-10.0 --variant=release --build-type=complete -j 4 --with-regex --with-test --with-filesystem --with-date_time --with-random --with-system --with-thread --with-program_options --with-chrono --with-math stage link=static threading=multi runtime-link=static

• command:  

set BOOST_ROOT=C:\work\lib\boost_1_51_0-MT
cmake M:\project

  Unable to find the requested Boost libraries.

  Boost version: 1.51.0

  Boost include path: C:/work/lib/boost_1_51_0-MT

  The following Boost libraries could not be found:

          boost_system
          boost_thread
          boost_random
          boost_chrono

  No Boost libraries were found.  You may need to set BOOST_LIBRARYDIR to the
  directory containing Boost libraries or BOOST_ROOT to the location of
  Boost.

M:\project\CMakeLists.txt contains: (i need to link boost statically)

...
set_property(GLOBAL PROPERTY FIND_LIBRARY_USE_LIB64_PATHS ON)
set(USE_STATIC_BOOST ON)
add_definitions(-DBOOST_THREAD_USE_LIB)
add_definitions(-DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB)

find_package(Boost 1.48.0 COMPONENTS system thread random chrono REQUIRED)
...

This CMakeLists.txt is old and works on other boost installations (done by me and not me in past, but the recepies is lost).

To use set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS OFF) you need to add:

if( WIN32 )
  # Needed for boost to turn off autolinking for dynamic linking
  add_definitions( -DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB )
endif()
