Defining the Boost_ROOT setting in Windows

Before building a platform or an application solution on Windows, define the Boost_ROOT setting. As the setting value, specify the path to the installed Boost library. To do this, specify it as the value of the Boost_ROOT setting in the CMakePresets.json file located in the root directory with the platform source code.

You can also create an environment variable for the Boost_ROOT setting.

To create an environment variable in Windows:

1. In Windows, press the Windows+R key combination.
2. Type sysdm.cpl and press Enter.
3. In the window that opens, select the Additional tab and click the Environment variables button.
4. In the window that opens, create the Boost_ROOT variable and specify the path to the Boost library as the value of the variable.
