FindXXX.cmake files usually allow to configure which components you want, and only link those components.\r\n\r\nIt is unlikely that the existing FindBoost will work with the conan packages, as they are \"flattened\" to include, lib, bin directories, and FindBoost expect some hierachies. Probably a regular Find can be developed that wraps it and filters the libraries to link only the required.\r\n\r\nOther possibility is to filter the CONAN_LIBS variable, it has to be checked the UX of this approach, if it fits well to different libraries name patterns (libraries with different names depending on settings), or if it might need some additional helpers to ease the task.\r\n\r\nRelated to #6 "}}
