Description
Describe the bug
Hello, everyone, There is an issue when trying to build from the repo with CMAKE : the problem seems to be that CMAKE cannot find Boost 1.67, and a rapid google search does not give me an answer whether I can install Boost or whether I should change the compiler.
To Reproduce
To reproduce :
I have tried it both on my machine (WSL, cmd & Powershell), and on a DSVM (Ubuntu 16.04).
I git cloned the project, then from the SPTAG repo, did "mkdir build", then "cd build && cmake .. && make", or the adapted syntax depending on the OS.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the build from a fresh clone with mkdir build, cd build, cmake .., and make, as described in the issue. Inspect the CMake configuration and Boost discovery output to determine why Boost 1.67 is not found on Ubuntu 16.04, WSL, or Windows. Done means a documented or corrected configuration can complete the build.
