FindBoost.cmake works for me with 1.63. but I'm not using the
"Boost::<library>" syntax, I'm just using the ${Boost_LIBRARIES} variable,
which brings in the libs you specify in find_package, but not the relevant
dependencies (I think), so it's slightly more manual because you need to
manually ass boost_system,etc.

target_link_libraries (${declare_trisycl_test_TARGET}

                       ${Boost_LIBRARIES})

The other mistake I make from time to time is 32bit vs 64bit libraries --
in this case I get the exact error you are getting because it finds the
headers but not libs of the correct architecture.

Hope this helps.
