The error is exactly as it says. The Boost package that you're using only
has shared libraries (e.g. bin/boost_filesystem.dll and its corresponding
import library lib/boost_filesystem.lib), but the CMake variable
Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS is set to ON, requesting static libraries (such as
lib/libboost_filesystem.lib, which you don't have.)
