Incorrect Boost::headers.INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES

[Anthony Mallet <anthony.mallet%laas.fr@localhost>]

Hi,

I'm facing the issue reported in https://github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc/issues/167
Any external (not pkgsrc) project using the boost/cmake config file
will get the boost header path wrong.

The installed cmake file in
/usr/pkg/lib/cmake/boost_headers-1.89.0/boost_headers-config.cmake
from boost-headers-1.89.0nb1 (pkgsrc-2025Q4) is incorrect.

More precisely, the following bits of code in the above file do resolve to
"/usr" for INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES, which is wrong:

get_filename_component(_BOOST_CMAKEDIR "${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/../" REALPATH)
get_filename_component(_BOOST_INCLUDEDIR "${_BOOST_CMAKEDIR}/../../../" ABSOLUTE)
set_target_properties(Boost::headers PROPERTIES
  INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES "${_BOOST_INCLUDEDIR}"
)

Replacing the definition of _BOOST_INCLUDEDIR with
"${_BOOST_CMAKEDIR}/../../include/" gives the correct behaviour.

Maybe this could simply be patched locally by pkgsrc until someone
figures out what's wrong with this file?

(I tried to look at boost-build sources but it's a bit too much
obfuscated to really figure out what's going on ...)
