You can create a new BOOL cmake variable Boost_DEBUG, and turn it ON. That 
gives more verbose messages.

Probably your directory c:/.../boost/boost_1_47/lib does not contain the 
needed libraries. Have you installed precompiled Boost libraries, using the 
installer provided by the BoostPro company? If not, you should compile the 
Boost libraries.

Have a look at the following page:

  http://www.cgal.org/windows_installation.html

It was written, cross-checked, and approved by several CGAL developers.
