I've found this. I haven't tried it, but I want to save it just in case.

Contents:

Boost has experimental CMake support. You have to do a bit of dev to get it working but we've had good experiences so far.

set(BOOST_INCLUDE_LIBRARIES system thread) # enabled libraries
set(BOOST_ENABLE_CMAKE ON) # CMake support
FetchContent_Declare(boost GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/boostorg/boost.git ...

The above will get you the compiled libs working. For the header library (Boost::boost aka Boost::headers) there doesn't seem to be CMake support as yet so we wrote a few lines of CMake code to iterate through the FetchContent source directory and added all include folders to a new IMPORTED INTERFACE target.

In your application you have to copy the dynamic libraries to the user space from the local cache. To do that you have to have the import method in the conanfile.py from your application. You will have to paste this code in the conanfile.py from your project:

def import(self):
  self.copy(*.dll, bin, bin)
  self.copy(*.dylib, bin, bin)

Here is the official documentation of the method: http://docs.conan.io/en/latest/reference/conanfile/methods.html#imports
