Boost with find package and global

[blozano-tt]

For some reason I can’t force find_package fallback here when doing CPM_USE_LOCAL_PACKAGE

Any ideas?

Maybe I need

COMPONENTS core smart_ptr container interprocess

This is a painful rabbit hole...

I am learning that if you install boost system wide, the BoostConfig.cmake has only a couple targets:

• Boost::boost
• Boost::headers

The targets Boost::core, Boost::container, Boost::smart_ptr, Boost::interprocess are not available.

I have yet to figure out how you can install boost in the system with those targets. I am trying to build from source using b2.
