Hi folks,

I'm trying to compile boost with cmake and MS Visual Studio 2003 on Windows.
However, when I run the cmake tool I get:

CMake Error at C:/Program Files/CMake
2.6/share/cmake-2.6/Modules/FindBoost.cmak
e:620 (message):
  Unable to find the requested Boost libraries.

  Boost version: 1.35.0

  Boost include path: C:/Program Files/boost/boost_1_35_0

  The following Boost libraries could not be found:

          boost_signals

  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.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:27 (FIND_PACKAGE)

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The "c:/Program Files/boost/boost_1_35_0" path is correct and I have:

libboost_signals-vc71-mt-1_35.lib
libboost_signals-vc71-mt-gd-1_35.lib
libboost_signals-vc71-mt-s-1_35.lib
libboost_signals-vc71-mt-sgd-1_35.lib
libboost_signals-vc71-s-1_35.lib
libboost_signals-vc71-sgd-1_35.lib
libboost_signals-vc80-mt-1_35.lib
libboost_signals-vc80-mt-gd-1_35.lib
libboost_signals-vc80-mt-s-1_35.lib
libboost_signals-vc80-mt-sgd-1_35.lib
libboost_signals-vc80-s-1_35.lib
libboost_signals-vc80-sgd-1_35.lib
libboost_signals-vc90-mt-1_35.lib
libboost_signals-vc90-mt-gd-1_35.lib
libboost_signals-vc90-mt-s-1_35.lib
libboost_signals-vc90-mt-sgd-1_35.lib
libboost_signals-vc90-s-1_35.lib
libboost_signals-vc90-sgd-1_35.lib

files in the "c:/Program Files/boost/boost_1_35_0/lib" path.

Here is my CMakeLists file:

----------------------------
CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED(VERSION 2.6)
PROJECT(test)

SET(TEST_SRCS
    ../../Application/display_controller.cpp
    ../../Application/GUI.cpp
    ../../Application/joystick_controller.cpp
    ../../Application/keyboard_controller.cpp
    main.cpp
)

SET(TEST_MOC_HDRS
    ../../Application/GUI.h
)

SET(TEST_UIS
    ../../Application/GUI.ui
)

SET(TEST_RCS
    ../../Application/GUI.qrc
)

ADD_DEFINITIONS(-Wall)

FIND_PACKAGE(Qt4 REQUIRED)
FIND_PACKAGE(Boost REQUIRED COMPONENTS signals)

IF (Boost_FOUND)
    INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
    LINK_DRIECTORIES(${Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS})
    ADD_DEFINITIONS(${Boost_LIB_DIAGNOSTIC_DEFINITIONS})
ENDIF (Boost_FOUND)

INCLUDE( ${QT_USE_FILE} )
QT4_ADD_RESOURCES( TEST_RC_SRCS ${TEST_RCS} )
QT4_WRAP_UI( TEST_UI_HDRS ${TEST_UIS} )
QT4_WRAP_CPP( TEST_MOC_SRCS ${TEST_MOC_HDRS} )
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES( ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR} )
ADD_EXECUTABLE( test ${TEST_SRCS} ${TEST_MOC_SRCS} ${TEST_RC_SRCS}
${TEST_UI_HDRS} )

TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(test ${QT_LIBRARIES} ${Boost_LIBRARIES})
----------------------------

and the cmake version is "2.6-patch 2".

More, this file works in ubuntu smoothly.

Does someone have any idea on what may be wrong?

Thanks,
