I spent some time getting CMake to work with with boost libraries.

My conclusions is that FindBoost can be relied upon only for header only libraries. To used build libraries, you'll have to explicitly set the specific library variable to the path where the library is located.

For example, in order to link with the boost.filesystem library debug version I set

Boost_FILESYSTEM_LIBRARY_DEBUG to

/Users/robertramey/WorkingProjects/modular-boost/stage/lib/Debug/libboost_filesystem-clang-darwin-mt-d-1_62.a

I haven't tried with with shard libraries.

Basically, FindBoost needs some improvement before it can be expected to automagically find libraries to link to.
