Basic procedure to use boost with biicode and MSVC 10.0

Question

I'd like to test how biicode allows me to quickly create a project that uses boost. I (think I) have followed the procedure outlined in the bii docs.

After modifying the CMakeLists.txt, the configuration step does not succeed. The boost library does not seem to build to be built. I know that sometimes the configure step needs to be done twice (according to http://forum.biicode.com/t/error-could-not-find-the-following-static-boost-libraries-boost-thread/374), but this does not help.

I have pasted the exact steps I took below. I'd be very grateful if someone could show me where I went wrong.

1. Environnement : Windows 7 x64, Visual Studio 10 SP 1

PS G:\> bii --version
3.2
PS G:\> cmake --version
cmake version 3.2.2
CMake suite maintained and supported by Kitware (kitware.com/cmake).
PS G:\>

2. Start in a clean folder (G:\biitests)

3. Init the bii project

PS G:\biitests> bii init boostUsageTest -L
Successfully initialized biicode project boostUsageTest

4. Create the G:\biitests\boostUsageTest\main.cpp file with the following contents:

#include <boost/lexical_cast.hpp>
#include <boost/thread/mutex.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include <exception>
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
    boost::mutex uselessMutex;
    auto value = boost::lexical_cast<int>(argv[0]);
    std::cout << "value = " << value << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

5. bii find

PS G:\biitests\boostUsageTest> bii find
INFO: Processing changes...
WARN: There are local unresolved dependencies
They will not be searched in the server
Unresolved: boost/lexical_cast.hpp
INFO: Finding missing dependencies in server
INFO: Looking for boost/thread...
WARN: Can't find block candidate for: boost/thread
INFO: No block candidates found

6. bii configure

PS G:\biitests\boostUsageTest> bii cpp:configure -G "Visual Studio 10"
INFO: Processing changes...
Running: "cmake"  -G "Visual Studio 10" -Wno-dev  ..\cmake

+ EXE: user_boostUsageTest_main
-- Configuring done

-- Build files have been written to: G:/biitests/boostUsageTest/bii/build
PS G:\biitests\boostUsageTest>

7. edit CMakeLists.txt in the following way

(before my changes, the only non-commented line was ADD_BII_TARGETS() )

include(biicode/boost/setup)

INIT_BIICODE_BLOCK()

# Create Targets
ADD_BII_TARGETS()

bii_find_boost(COMPONENTS thread REQUIRED)

8. run bii find again

PS G:\biitests\boostUsageTest> bii find --update

9. Run bii configure again

PS G:\biitests\boostUsageTest> bii cpp:configure -G "Visual Studio 10"
INFO: Processing changes...
Running: "cmake"  -G "Visual Studio 10" -Wno-dev  ..\cmake

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
See also "G:/biitests/boostUsageTest/bii/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".

And running bii cpp:configure after that always gives the exact same output.

Thanks a lot in advance !
