CMAKE cannot find Boost

问题

I am trying to build Point Cloud Library on Windows. https://github.com/PointCloudLibrary/pcl

This library requires Boost library and I have installed it properly.

However, when I use CMAKE to build PCL, it complains that

CMake Error at C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake/share/cmake-3.3/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:1245 (message): Unable to find the requested Boost libraries. Unable to find the Boost header files. Please set BOOST_ROOT to the root directory containing Boost or BOOST_INCLUDEDIR to the directory containing Boost's headers. Call Stack (most recent call first): cmake/pcl_find_boost.cmake:37 (find_package) CMakeLists.txt:399 (include)

I have BOOST_ROOT set in my environment variables:

Furthermore, CMAKE doesn't even show the BOOST_ROOT or BOOST_INCLUDEDIR variables in its variable name list:

Below is the pcl_find_boost.cmake file

endif(Boost_FOUND)

Thanks in advance for the help!
