I am new to Cmake and boost libraries in C++. I am working on a project that needs boost and Cmake. I am using Cmake version 2.8.11, MS Visual Studio 2013 and Boost 1.54.0. When I try to configure from Cmake, it is giving the following error:
CMake Error at C:/Program Files/CMake 2.8/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:1106 (message):
Unable to find the requested Boost libraries.
Boost version: 1.54.0
Boost include path: D:/boost_1_54_0
The following Boost libraries could not be found:
boost_thread
boost_system
boost_log
boost_log_setup
boost_program_options
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.

I have seen quite a few questions related to mine and tried, but all went in vain. My Cmakelists.txt file looks like this:
################################

The CMake output after setting Boost_DEBUG ON is as follows:

I have also tried writing set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON), but unfortunately it did not help. Suggestions are most welcome. Thanks.
