NetBSD netbsd-full 10.1 NetBSD 10.1 (GENERIC) #0: Mon Dec 16 13:08:11 UTC 2024  mkrepro@mkrepro.NetBSD.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC amd6
>Description:
The CMake package configuration files installed by the `meta-pkgs/boost` package specify the `/usr` include directory instead of the correct `/usr/pkg/include` path.

This makes it problematic to use this package in other CMake-based projects.
>How-To-Repeat:
$ pkgin install boost
$ cat CMakeLists.txt
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.31)
project(BoostCMakeIncludesBug)
find_package(Boost REQUIRED CONFIG)
include(CMakePrintHelpers)
cmake_print_properties(TARGETS Boost::headers
  PROPERTIES INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
)
$ cmake .
...
-- 
 Properties for TARGET Boost::headers:
   Boost::headers.INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES = "/usr"
...

 Perhaps use boost_headers_DIR instead?

 Yes, this can be used as a workaround, although not directly.

 In fact, I already used it in
 https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/commit/5a5ddbd78922236402df378c8588a7b0b3f83a13
 .

 However, the current issue places an additional burden on projects which
 care about portability.
