cmake command can't find boost libraries

Question

I'm using an ubuntu terminal to run a cmake . But, the boost libraries couldn't be found.

  The following Boost libraries could not be found:

          boost_program_options
          boost_signals
          boost_serialization
          boost_unit_test_framework

With commands like:

cmake . -DBoost_USE_STATIC_LIBS=ON

The problem persist, also, if I use a location boost_unit_test_framework I'm not getting any result.

How I can install those references?

If you do not want to install all Boost libraries, you can install selectively what you need.

For example, for boost_unit_test_framework you can do:

sudo apt install libboost-test-dev

And the others would be:

sudo apt install libboost-program-options-dev libboost-serialization-dev libboost-signals-dev
