I'm trying to make a CMake project with Beast, and it's properly installed from source in /usr/local/include/boost, but I can't get CMake to find it. I though it might have been a 3.10.2, so I tired 3.11.4 and 3.12.0-rc1, but neither worked. Does anyone know what to do?
Environment: Windows CLion 2018.1.5 with Ubuntu 18.04LTS on WSL.
When attempting to run CMake, I get the following error:
CMake Warning at /home/aidan/Apps/cmake-3.11.4-Linux-x86_64/share/cmake-3.11/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:1723 (message):

Some (but not all) of the required Boost libraries were found. You may
need to install these additional Boost libraries. Alternatively, set
BOOST_LIBRARYDIR to the directory containing Boost libraries or BOOST_ROOT
to the location of Boost.

Boost beast is a header only library. Header only libraries must not be referenced in a find_package(Boost COMPONENTS ...) call. So remove beast from the find_package(Boost COMPONENTS ... REQUIRED) call.
To find out whether a Boost library is header only or not, please have a look to the following Boost page.
