I, too, ran into the very same problem building against Boost 1.50:

The cause is apparently that Boost 1.50 removes the boost::filesystem V2 implementation, meaning that the code in question would need to get rewritten for the V3 API in order for it to work with newer Boost releases.

Downgrading Boost from 1.50 to 1.49 worked around the problem for the time being, enabling the build to complete successfully.

Looks like @rowanj already worked on a patch for this at: rowanj@5d0117d

When compiling LucenePlusPlus, cmake produces the following errors:
This is a build on Windows 8.1 using Visual Studio 2015.

Could not find the following Boost libraries:

     boost_date_time
     boost_filesystem
     boost_iostreams
     boost_regex
     boost_system
     boost_thread

I've been trying to compile as follows:

cmake -Wno-dev -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" -DBOOST_LIBRARYDIR=c:\tools\boost_1_64_0\stage\lib -DBOOST_INCLUDE_DIR=c:\tools\boost_1_64_0\boost

and

I've tried setup environment variables, as shown:

set BOOST_ROOT=c:\tools\boost_1_64_0
set BOOST_INCLUDEDIR=c:\tools\boost_1_64_0\boost
set BOOST_LIBRARYDIR=c:\tools\boost_1_64_0\stage\lib

Any help would be appreciated.
