Your output shows that CMake is searching for the libraries in the following places:
D:/program files/boost_1_51/bin/lib
D:/program files/boost_1_51/bin/stage/lib
D:/program files/boost_1_51/lib
D:/program files/boost_1_51/../lib
D:/program files/boost_1_51/stage/lib
C:/boost/lib
C:/boost
C:\Program Files (x86)/boost/boost_1_51_0/lib
C:\Program Files (x86)/boost/boost_1_51/lib
C:\Program Files (x86)/boost/lib
C:\Program Files (x86)/boost
/sw/local/lib
It also shows that it's expecting the libraries to be named in a certain way. For example, the release version of Boost.Thread:
boost_thread-vc100-mt-1_51
boost_thread-vc100-mt
boost_thread-mt-1_51
boost_thread-mt
boost_thread
If your boost libraries do exist in one of the searched locations, then it's probably the name of the library that's the problem. You can adjust the expected name of the boost libs by setting the appropriate CMake variables relevant to the FindBoost module
For example, if you built boost using bjam with link=static threading=multi
then in your CMakeLists.txt before find_package(Boost ...)
you'll want to do
set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON)
set(Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED ON)
or invoke cmake with -DBoost_USE_STATIC_LIBS=ON -DBoost_USE_MULTITHREADED=ON
Edit
As @noam has pointed out in the comments below, in this particular case, it appears that CGAL requires the shared (dll) versions of the boost libs; passing -DBoost_USE_STATIC_LIBS=ON
on the command line has no effect.
cmake . -DBoost_DEBUG=ON
