Hi to all,
I tested this with cmake 3.2.2 and 3.3.2 and still get the same problem.
I'd like to use boost with gcc on windows 7 64bit. I installed boost and gcc
with msys2 as I cannot use MSVC for the actual project I am looking into for
this.
the funny thing, if I use the attached CMakeLists.txt on the machine and call:
```
$ cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles" -DBOOST_ROOT=C:/msys64/mingw64 -
DBOOST_LIBRARYDIR==C:/msys64/mingw64/lib ..
-- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 4.9.2
-- Check for working CXX compiler: C:/msys64/usr/bin/g++.exe
-- Check for working CXX compiler: C:/msys64/usr/bin/g++.exe -- works
-- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info

Unable to find the requested Boost libraries.
Boost version: 1.57.0

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'd like to link statically to multithreaded libboost_*-mt.a from my app. But
it proofes really hard to find Boost in the first place.
Any ideas?
