You are using MinGW, which is not a supported platform for CGAL. However, it 
should be doable to compile Boost, Qt, other CGAL dependencies, and CGAL, 
with 
that compiler. The problem is that it has not been tested, and you are on 
your 
own.

Can you attach you CMakeCache.txt file? It should have been generated during 
the attempt of configuration by CMake.

Currently, the problems you have are:
  - Boost libraries cannot be found by FindBoost.cmake,
  - GMP and MPFR libraries are not found either.

What version of CMake do you use, by the way?
