Problem with cmake and boost library during compilation

Question

I'm trying to compile the following library https://github.com/jgasthaus/libPLUMP that use cmake in order to generate the makefile.

The library includes also the boost library. The cmake command seems to work well, indeed the linking goes good.

MBP-di-Giulio-2:libPLUMP giuliopn$ mkdir build && cd build && cmake ..

But when I compile, it doesn't find the boost file:

I only modify the version of the boost library in the file CMakeLists.txt ( from Boost 1.35.0 to Boost 1.72.0).

For information I'm currently using macOS Catalina v10.15.3

Do you have any suggestion ?

Sorry if the question is not so intresting, but I haven't so much experience with cmake.

Thanks a lot for the answers.

Do not use *images* for logs: instead, add this logs into the question as **text**. See [ask]. — Tsyvarev, May 16 '20 at 10:28
Well, [src/libplump/CMakeLists.txt](https://github.com/jgasthaus/libPLUMP/blob/master/src/libplump/CMakeLists.txt) script doesn't add Boost include directories. While top-level [CMakeLists.txt](https://github.com/jgasthaus/libPLUMP/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt) uses `find_package()` for locate Boost, it doesn't add Boost include directories too. You may report the problem to the (only) project's developer. — Tsyvarev, May 16 '20 at 10:43
Probably, adding `include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})` into the main `CMakeLists.txt` just after `find_package(Boost)` would help in resolving the issue. For other ways just search for "cmake use boost" or similar phrases. See e.g. this question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3897839/how-to-link-c-program-with-boost-using-cmake. — Tsyvarev, May 16 '20 at 10:47
