I'm saying that you should read the entirety of the link I pointed you to.
Without information about your configuration at the very least, no one
here can make an informed attempt to solve the problem you're seeing.
We need at least the output of 'cygcheck -s -r -v' *attached* to your
problem report.  And since the package you're trying to build can't find
Boost, it would be logical to assume that a STC
<http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#STC> wouldn't either or if it does, that
would tell us something about the package you're trying.  So please
consider including a STC as well with the commands you invoked and
the results you get.  That should make it pretty easy for anyone here
to try and help you track down, if the process itself doesn't help
you resolve the problem yourself.
