First let me preface this by saying I'm a fairly inexperienced programmer.
When I try to configure, CMake is giving me the following error:
CMake Error at C:/Program Files/CMake/share/cmake-3.9/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:1877 (message):
Unable to find the requested Boost libraries.
Boost version: 1.55.0
Boost include path:
C:/Users/Me/free-cad-code/FreeCADLibs_11.1_x64_VC12/FreeCADLibs_11.1_x64_VC12/include
Could not find the following Boost libraries:
boost_filesystem
boost_program_options
boost_regex
boost_signals
boost_system
boost_thread
What can I try?
CMake cannot find Boost Libraries

Re: CMake cannot find Boost Libraries
Have you set the cmake variable FREECAD_LIBPACK_DIR to C:/Users/Me/free-cad-code/FreeCADLibs_11.1_x64_VC12? (btw, that is an old libpack)

Re: CMake cannot find Boost Libraries
Yes I had. I just ended up downloading the executable anyways though. Thanks.
Re: CMake cannot find Boost Libraries
The cmake files have not been updated for the 11.x libpack, so the VC-version-specific boost libraries are not found.
Re: CMake cannot find Boost Libraries
I need to qualify my last post.
When running CMake to configure a VS14 (2015) solution, the existing CMake files don't work. Generating a VS12 (2013) solution works just fine (at least with the 11.5.3 lib pack).
