I think it wants the Boost thread library. Have you tried compiling the boost thread library and making a variable in Cmake that points to that location?

I have been using CGAL with VS2005 and VS2008 but until now I have failed to
compile CGAL 3.5 with VS2010 beta 2.

I successfully compiled boot 1.41.0 but I am still blocked with cmake-gui (2.9)
failing to configure because of missing boost_thread library.
CMake output looks familiar since it appears in numerous posts in this forum
dealing with compilation with previous versions of Visual Studio.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
CMake Error at cmake/modules/FindBoost.cmake:885 (message):
  Unable to find the requested Boost libraries.

  Boost version: 1.41.0

  Boost include path: C:/Program Files/Boost/boost_1_41_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.

If you ever succeeded to compile CGAL 3.5 with VS2010, please share your
ynowledge.
Thanks in advance.
