CMake with Boost could not find static libraries

Solution 1
I guess your compiled libraries is not in your BOOST_ROOT/lib/ folder. In this case, you need to set your lib folder directory path.
set(BOOST_LIBRARYDIR ${BOOST_ROOT}/stage/lib/)
or
set(BOOST_LIBRARYDIR path/to/your/lib/folder)
Solution 2
I have same problem
solved by using command
bjam install --prefix="<your boost install folder>" --with-system --with-date_time --with-random link=static runtime-link=shared threading=multi

I have some troubles with CMake and Boost library. I have the following error :
CMake Error at C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake 2.8/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:1111 (message): Unable to find the requested Boost libraries. Boost version: 1.55.0 Boost include path: C:/local/boost_1_55_0 Could not find the following static Boost libraries: boost_system boost_date_time boost_regex 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. Call Stack (most recent call first): CMakeLists.txt:10 (find_package) -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
I did everything I found to internet in my CMakeLists.txt but it's not working, I don't understand. I'm using Windows 8 with Visual Studio 12 and Boost is installed in the default directory. (C:/local/boost_1_55_0)
Here my CMakeLists.txt :
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6) project (server) set(BOOST_ROOT "c:\\local\\boost_1_55_0") set (Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON) set (Boost_MULTITHREADED ON) set (Boost_USE_STATIC_RUNTIME OFF) find_package(Boost 1.55 COMPONENTS system date_time regex REQUIRED) add_definitions(${Boost_LIB_DIAGNOSTIC_DEFINITIONS}) set(SRCS main.cpp Server.cpp Client.cpp) set(HEADERS Server.h Client.h) include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIR}) add_executable(babel_server ${SRCS} ${HEADERS}) target_link_libraries(babel_server ${Boost_LIBRARIES})
Anyone can help me please ?
Thanks
