[Bug 1948552] Re: libboost program_options cmake file causes error when used

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

I'm not sure why we still have boost1.71 in jammy still, as everything
should have moved to boost1.74.

boost1.71 is still the default one in focal.

Title:
  libboost program_options cmake file causes error when used

Status in boost1.71 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in cmake package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Main CMakeLists.txt contains: find_package( Boost COMPONENTS
  program_options )

  A sub project CMakeLists contains: ${Boost_LIBRARIES}

  The error message:

  CMake Error in sub-project/CMakeLists.txt:
    Imported target "Boost::program_options" includes non-existent path "/include" in its INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES.

  I can "fix" the error by creating a symbolic link from /include to
  /usr/include. But maybe a better fix would be to have the cmake file
  use /usr/include.`

  Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
