can someone tell me how to solve this error ?

[firebrain7]

have you solved it now?
I met it too.

I also have this issue with version 1.71.0.

Same issue here with 1.71.0

This helped: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57870032/cmake-v3-15-3-cannot-find-boost-v1-71-0

I had to specify my path C:\boost\boost_1_71_0 as boost directory.

Where to Specify??

Same issue here with 1.72.0

[zavodnyrichard]

I'm having the same issue with 1.72.0, and I tried everything, but it still doesn't work.

I have my Windows to locate the Boost with CMake by adding below in the Windows Environment Variables:

Variable name: Boost_INCLUDE_DIR
Variable value: \libs\headers
eg. C:\local\boost_1_73_0\libs\headers

Variable name: BOOST_ROOT
Variable value:
eg. C:\local\boost_1_73_0

Open a new Command prompt and install the lightgbm (gpu mode) again.

Today I had the same problem and I just added

set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON)

to my CMakeLists.txt which solved the issue for me. Perhaps this is necessary to tell CMake since regex is one of the few Boost components which is not header-only. Therefore you need to link against something which is not required in case of header-only libraries.

Also, in my opinion it is bad to specify host dependent paths, like @juliuskittler told in his solution. This blows up manually tackled set up phases.

EDIT: Equivalent to my suggestion is passing an argument like here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/57875055/6346852

Today Same problem with CMake 3.20 Boost 1.75.0 under windows 10 and got this error:

Selecting Windows SDK version 10.0.19041.0 to target Windows 10.0.19042.
CMake Error at C:/CMake/share/cmake-3.20/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:230 (message):

Have tried these kind of things but same error.
BOOST_DIR
Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS - Boost include directories
Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS - Link directories for Boost libraries

set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON) in CMakeLists.txt

I met the same problem in 1.72.0

Hi everyone. I ran into this problem. Openning the CMakeCache.txt gave me this line

//The directory containing a CMake configuration file for Boost.
Boost_DIR:PATH=Boost_DIR-NOTFOUND

You guys should check this line. From the line, we can see the Cmake can't fine the cmake configuration of boost, which should be some where called "boost_dir".

I follow this tutorial because I don't have Visual Studio to build the libraries. You can build yourself with gcc https://gist.github.com/sim642/29caef3cc8afaa273ce6
After that, I have a "cmake" folder inside the lib folder after building.

I set the environment variable: BOOST_DIR with value "C:\development\boost\lib\cmake" . Remember "lib" is the folder of built libraries.
I hope this helps.

for those who install boost using vcpkg, dont forget to add the toolchain. while the error seems to find the boost, it's file structure is totally different, thus producing confusing results making you think you need to add use_static=on. just add vcpkg.cmake toolchain. add vcpkg to path is not enough.

Hi, I am using macOS 12.3
Even if I set set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON) in CMakeLists.txt
The errors are still there :

您好，邮件已收到，谢谢！

[winkee01]

and finally, I have to use -DBoost_NO_BOOST_CMAKE=ON
