- Affected package(s): documentation
@lrineau I'm not sure about the fix. Boost_DIR shall point to where BoostConfig.cmake is located but BOOST_ROOT should point to the root of the installation, isn't it?
The doc of FindBoost says "BOOSTROOT : preferred installation prefix"
On my installation, it is set to where BoostConfig.cmake is, and it works

But also with the underscore on the page you gave.
That's my point: BOOT_ROOT installation prefix while config mode should be using Boost_DIR.
Actually, if Boost is installed in a standard directory, like C:/ProgramFiles(x86), it can be found automatically. See the documentation of CMAKE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_PATH.
