-1. Environment variable "BOOST_ROOT" is not set by default.
-   Please make sure you set this variable value to proper value
-   from table above depending on the Boost version you are using.
-2. If Boost was built using the boost-cmake project or from Boost 1.70.0
-   on it provides a package configuration file for use with find_package's config mode.
-   This module looks for the package configuration file called BoostConfig.cmake or boost-config.cmake
-   and stores the result in CACHE entry "Boost_DIR". If found, the package configuration file
-   is loaded and this module returns with no further action.
-   See documentation of the Boost CMake package configuration for details on what it provides.
-   Set Boost_NO_BOOST_CMAKE to ON, to disable the search for boost-cmake.
-   Link: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/FindBoost.html
