Description

I am trying to build Avro C++ on Windows 10. 

I get stuck on step 5 of [On native Windows|https://avro.apache.org/docs/1.9.2/api/cpp/html/index.html].

I choose the generator Visual Studio 10 2010 and Win32 as the platform.

Using Cmake GUI i get the following output in the console: CMakeConsoleOutput.txt and the generated log is here: CMakeOutput.log .

When i try to use another generator (Visual Studio 16 2019) i get the same Output.

What confuses me is this Output in the CMake GUI:

CMake Error at C:/Program Files/CMake/share/cmake-3.17/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:164 (message):
  Could NOT find Boost (missing: filesystem iostreams program_options regex
  system) (found suitable version "1.73.0", minimum required is "1.38")

I tried the same with boost version 1.72.0 but i get the same Output in the CMake GUI.

Can someone help be get it to build with CMake?
