Hello all

I tried to build the following program in Windows 8 command line

[http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/OutOfTreeModules](http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/OutOfTreeModules)

Using the commands

mkdirbuild  
cd build

cmake …/

However, the command

cmake …/

does not execute. And I have got the following error

“Boost required to compile howto” (see the attachement).

Note that I have already installed boost (i.e.,  
boost\_1\_55\_0-msvc-9.0-64.exe) in my laptop by following the instructions  
of

[http://www.scaleoutsoftware.com/support/stateServer/cpp\_programmers\_guide/content/\_installing\_on\_windows.html](http://www.scaleoutsoftware.com/support/stateServer/cpp_programmers_guide/content/_installing_on_windows.html)  
I have also configured the system path the same as the boost (i.e., in  
the environment variable) as

BOOST\_ROOT = C:\local\boost\_1\_55\_0

Thank you for the help
