I am sorry, but you must do something wrong, and their should
be no need for magic.  At least here on my machine the following
works for Windows7 64 bit


I installed the latest version of cmake.

I downloaded boost 1.46.1

I unzipped it into c:/boost/boost_1_46_1

I opened the Windows cmd shell
Start -> All Programs ->  Microsoft Visual Studio 2010
-> Visual Studio Tools -> Visual Studio x64 Win64 Command Prompt (2010)

and went in the above directory

I copied bjam.exe into this directory.

I called
bjam   toolset=msvc-10.0 address-model=64 --with-thread
--with-date_time --with-program_options --with-filesystem
--with-system debug release stage


I copied  the files stage/lib/*vc100*.lib
to the directory c:/boost/boost_1_46_1/lib

I define the environment variable BOOST_ROOT

I go into the CGAL root directory
I create a directory VC10, and go into this directory
I call cmake-gui ..

I choose the nmake generator
I click on configure
It sets all variables automatically and correctly.

In the CMakeCache.txt file I get:

//Path to a file.
Boost_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=c:/boost/boost_1_46_1

//Boost library directory
Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS:FILEPATH=c:/boost/boost_1_46_1/lib;c:/boost/boost_1_46_1/lib

//Boost diagnostic define
Boost_LIB_DIAGNOSTIC_DEFINITIONS:STRING=-DBOOST_LIB_DIAGNOSTIC

//The Boost THREAD library
Boost_THREAD_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=optimized;c:/boost/boost_1_46_1/lib/libboost_thread-vc100-mt-1_46_1.lib;debug;c:/boost/boost_1_46_1/lib/libboost_thread-vc100-mt-gd-1_46_1.lib

//Path to a library.
Boost_THREAD_LIBRARY_DEBUG:FILEPATH=c:/boost/boost_1_46_1/lib/libboost_thread-vc100-mt-gd-1_46_1.lib

//Path to a library.
Boost_THREAD_LIBRARY_RELEASE:FILEPATH=c:/boost/boost_1_46_1/lib/libboost_thread-vc100-mt-1_46_1.lib
