LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_log-vc143-mt-gd-x64-1_85.lib' in CMake project

I've encountered this problem: linker cannot find Boost.Log library which clearly does exist in destination. I use MS Visual Studio 2022, so my compiler surely is msvc143 as stated in library.

I have environment variables set like this:

And my CMakeLists.txt is:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.28)
project(SMTPLogger)

set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED True)

find_package(Boost 1.85 REQUIRED COMPONENTS log thread)
if(Boost_FOUND)
    message(STATUS "Boost include directories: ${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS}")
    message(STATUS "Boost libraries: ${Boost_LIBRARIES}")
    include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})
    link_directories(${Boost_LIBRARYDIR})
else()
    message(FATAL_ERROR "Could not find Boost")
endif()

find_package(Threads REQUIRED)

include_directories(${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/include)

add_executable(Logger src/Logger.cpp main.cpp)
target_include_directories(Logger PRIVATE ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/include ${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})

target_link_libraries(Logger Boost::log Boost::thread Threads::Threads)

When building, CMake outputs next message:

As seen below, library is located in ${BOOST_LIBRARYDIR} path.

As I researched the question, I realised that I cannot go to Configuration Properties and further, as there are none shown for CMake project. I`ve tried rebuilding, clearing CMake cache but nothing worked. I suppose the problem may lay in Boost version that I am currently using, 1.85.0, and CMake version 3.28.3

Thank you in advance.

When use find_package(Boost), it defines special target Boost::dynamic_linking. Linking with that target automatically defines BOOST_ALL_DYN_LINK macro, which is needed for use dynamic Boost libraries on Windows:

target_link_libraries(Logger Boost::log Boost::thread Boost::dynamic_linking Threads::Threads)
