Just to follow up a bit more, here is my recipe for getting Boost up
and running with CMake and Visual Studio.
1: Compile Boost:
From the "Visual Studio Command Prompt I use the following:
bjam.exe toolset=msvc-9.0 --with-test --with-filesystem --with-
program_options --with-date_time --with-thread --prefix=C:\Developer
\VS9\boost_1_39 variant=release,debug threading=multi link=static
runtime-link=shared install
2: I then set the Boost_ROOT environment variable to "C:\Developer
\VS9\boost_1_39"
3: CMakeLists.txt File:
# ---------- Find Boost Headers/Libraries -----------------------
SET (Boost_FIND_REQUIRED TRUE)
SET (Boost_FIND_QUIETLY TRUE)
SET (Boost_DEBUG FALSE)
set (Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED TRUE)
set (Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS TRUE)
SET (Boost_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS "1.39" "1.39.0")
FIND_PACKAGE(Boost COMPONENTS program_options )
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
LINK_DIRECTORIES(${Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS})
4: Remove Everything from the current build directory
5: CMake: From a brand new "Visual Studio Command Prompt" I verify
that Boost_ROOT is set correctly then running "CMake-Gui.exe". Click
"Configure" then Generate.
That usually allows CMake to find Boost. Hope that helps.

For the last day or so I have tried to compile a project(RobWork)
for Visual Studio 2008 using Cmake.
But my problem is that Cmake claims i can't find Boost dependencies.
I have been googling the problem on the net, but the only answer I
could find was that FindBost.cmake was the problem, but not how to
solve it.
When i run the project (RobWork) i get the following error:
C:\Documents and Settings\Martin>cd c:\local\workspace\RobWork\build
\release
C:\local\workspace\RobWork\build\release>cmake -G "Visual Studio 9
2008" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
../..
-- RobWork version 0.4.0
-- Build configuration: Release
CMake Warning (dev) at CMakeLists.txt:20 (INCLUDE):
Policy CMP0011 is not set: Included scripts do automatic
cmake_policy PUSH
and POP. Run "cmake --help-policy CMP0011" for policy details.
Use the
cmake_policy command to set the policy and suppress this warning.
The included script
C:/local/workspace/RobWork/build/ProjectSetup.cmake
affects policy settings. CMake is implying the NO_POLICY_SCOPE
option for
compatibility, so the effects are applied to the including context.
This warning is for project developers. Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.

CMake Error at C:/Programmer/CMake 2.8/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/
FindBoost.cmake:879 (message):
Unable to find the requested Boost libraries.
Boost version: 1.39.0
Boost include path: C:/local/boost_1_39_0
The following Boost libraries could not be found:
boost_thread
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):

- I have successfully compiled Boost 1.39.0 to Visual studio 2008,
so i get lib files like "libboost_date_time-vc90-mt-1_39.lib" in
<boost-root>/stage/lib.
- Boost have been placed in “C:\local\boost_1_39_0”
- The following environment variables has been added to Windows
BOOST_ROOT = C:\local\boost_1_39_0 and BOOST_LIBRARYDIR = $BOOST_ROOT
\stage\lib
- Both Cmake 2.6 and 2.8r2 have been used to compile the project,
with no success.
What I need is a solution, which can help me compile this project
using Visual Studio 2008
Is there some way I can setup FindBoost.cmake, so it will accept
and boost correctly????
