If the build script should search for boost and exit configuration if it 
doesn't find it.  My impression is the build script doesn't even add an extra 
include path for boost, but rahter assumes that boost lives in /usr (the 
compiler always looks at /usr/include).
 
Solution:
Install libboost-dev and I guess the build will succeed (because the boost 
headers now reside in /usr/include/boost).

Odd, the compiler finds the mutex.hpp but not the platform.hpp of the same 
installation. Is there a hardcoded include path like
  #include</usr/local/include/boost-1_36/boost/thread/mutex.hpp>
??
In this case the solution given above won't work.  Alter it to
  #include<boost/thread/mutex.hpp>

PS: As Vladimir mentioned this isn't an boost.build issue at all.  Please post 
further questions to cmake <at> cmake <dot> org (gmane:
