  The build for Windows has a strange directory structure which does not follow the instructions in the installation guide. The software can still be installed, but not according to the instructions. The problem lies in the header file include directories that CMake attempts to use. If the directions are followed the boost root directory should be 'C:\boost\'. The boost include file would then be located in the directory 'C:\boost\boost\'. This naming scheme is a little different than most c++ projects that would put the header files in an 'include' directory. When using CMake the prefix 'include\' is prepended to the directory specified for the include directory. Since 'include' exists no where in the boost path CMake will fail to find the include files. The ugly fix to this to get CMake to work is to rename the boost root directory to 'C:\include\' so that the path to the include files has the name 'include' in it.

  Check wether this one is fixed after fixing bug # 602
