About boost, you don't need to compile it to use its core functionalities. Only, if you are using some of their subsystems, you'd need to compile those parts. CGAL requires the thread part of boost. So, you just need to compile the thread library and get going.

Also, what I had done is, I made a new variable BOOST_ROOT and pointed to the location where my boost files where present. If you have these two things, cmake should let you go through..

Hello,

I am tryiing to compile CGAL boost and I get the following messages:

WARNING: Target "cmTryCompileExec" requests linking to directory
 "/home/csverma/Software/MathLib/GMP/lib".  Targets may link only to
 libraries.  CMake is dropping the item.

 WARNING: Target "cmTryCompileExec" requests linking to directory
 "/home/csverma/Software/MathLib/MPFR/lib".  Targets may link only to

 CMake Error at cmake/modules/FindBoost.cmake:613 (message):
  Unable to find the requested Boost libraries.

  Boost version: 1.40.0

  Boost include path: /home/csverma/Software/Boost/include

  The following Boost libraries could not be found:

          boost_thread

I am sure that Boost has been properly compiled  and the pat is correct.
but I don't understand why this error coming. Another thing, do we need to specify debug version of boost also ? And what are the error warnings #1 and #2
?
