Description:

While compiling ros-hydro-geometric-shapes (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ros-hydro-geometric-shapes/) that relies on assimp, compilation now fails:

-- Boost version: 1.55.0
-- Found the following Boost libraries:
-- system
-- filesystem
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:429 (message):
When requesting a specific version of Boost, you must provide at least the
major and minor version numbers, e.g., 1.34
Call Stack (most recent call first):
/usr/lib64/cmake/assimp-3.0/assimp-config.cmake:54 (find_package)
CMakeLists.txt:13 (find_package)


-- Could NOT find Boost

The investigation led me to /usr/lib64/cmake/assimp-3.0/assimp-config.cmake (lines 47/48):

# the boost version assimp was compiled with
set( ASSIMP_Boost_VERSION ".")

I guess this is supposed to be automatically set when compiling assimp, but it was apparently not. This should be "1.55". Thus, the following line fails:

find_package(Boost ${ASSIMP_Boost_VERSION} EXACT COMPONENTS thread date_time)


Additional info:
* package version: 3.1-1
