 In this case you didn't put the dependency package into the right directory. Please refer to [wiki:WindowsMinGW/current#Dependencies the guide] for more information about the dependency package and where to place it. Also make sure that you don't use two nested dependency directories (i.e. {{{/home/username/dependencies/dependencies}}}) but just one.
 
+=== Q: CMake complains about missing boost libraries ===
+
+A: You probably get an error like this:
+{{{
+$ cm
+[...]
+-- *** Build type is Debug ***
+CMake Error at [...]/FindBoost.cmake:xxxx (message):
+  Unable to find the requested Boost libraries.
+[...]
+  The following Boost libraries could not be found:
+
+          boost_thread
+          boost_filesystem
+          boost_system
+          boost_date_time
+[...]
+}}}
+In this case the boost libraries were probably built for a different version of MinGW and thus have a different name (e.g. {{{boost_thread-mgw45-mt-1_46_1}}} instead of {{{boost_thread-mgw47-mt-1_46_1}}}). Enable debugging of the Find-Boost-Script and look for the expected library name:
+{{{
+$ cm -DBoost_DEBUG=true
+[...]
+-- [ [...]/FindBoost.cmake:xxxx ] Searching for THREAD_LIBRARY_RELEASE: boost_thread-mgw47-mt-1_46_1;[...]
+[...]
+}}}
+Go to the dependencies directory and rename the boost libraries accordingly (or build new dependencies using the correct version of MinGW).
