There seems to be a LOT of CMake can't find Boost questions. However, I find none of the solutions worked for me. So perhaps I can print my details and see if someone can spot the issue?
I am on Ubuntu 18.04 in a Parallels VM. I installed Boost 1.73 using:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mhier/libboost-latest
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libboost1.73-devSince I wanted 1.73 (not the default with Ubuntu's libboost-dev-all).
I also have CMake 3.18.1 installed using:
sudo snap install --classic cmakeMy CMakeLists.txt:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.17)
project(myproj LANGUAGES CXX)
set(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Debug)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON)
set(Boost_DEBUG 1)
set(Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED ON)
set(Boost_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS 1.66.0 1.66 1.73)
SET(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS NO)
# ADD_DEFINITIONS(-DBOOST_LOG_DYN_LINK)
FIND_PACKAGE(Boost 1.66 COMPONENTS program_options regex filesystem REQUIRED)
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
add_executable(myproj src/main.cpp src/file0.cpp src/file1.cpp)
target_include_directories(myproj PRIVATE ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/include/)
set_target_properties(myproj PROPERTIES IMPORTED_LINK_INTERFACE_LANGUAGES "CXX")
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(myproj Boost::program_options Boost::regex Boost::filesystem)
install(TARGETS ${PROJECT} DESTINATION bin)Here is output of running cmake:

Now I feel stupid. Caught it after just posting this question:
FIND_PACKAGE(Boost 1.66 COMPONENTS program_options regex filesystem REQUIRED)Needs to include version 1.73
