Problem solved by the commit
When using boost static build the package generated still has dependency on boost dynamic library (eg: libboost_system.so)
added changes to fix this issue
Bug / issue (if any) fixed, which PR introduced the bug, how it was discovered
Issue raised by customer
How problem was solved, alternative solutions (if any) and why they were rejected
Added boost static libraries path to the search path for libraries using link_directories
This way required static boost library is found when target_link_libraries is used and wrong dependency is not added
Ideal fix would be to remove boost_system dependency as we have moved to std::filesystem and this lib dependency is not needed any more. Same fix has been sent to master. But to keep things simpler going through this route
Risks (if any) associated the changes in the commit
Low
What has been tested and how, request additional testing if necessary
