Hi Christian, Mike's comment about setting BOOST_ROOT should work. If this doesn't, make sure that your directories look like this:
C:\boost C:\boost\include C:\boost\include\boost-1_50 C:\boost\include\boost-1_50\boost C:\boost\lib With the above arrangement of directories, FindBoost.cmake shouldn't need any variables to be set by the user. The problem is often that the pecompiled boost libraries do not use C:\boost\lib but instead use something like C:\boost\lib64 or C:\boost\lib32.
