BoostDetectToolset-1.90.0.cmake file not found in an include() call in boost_python-config.cmake #525

Description

@Louis-Liu-one

I first installed Python 3.14, Boost 1.90.0 and Boost.Python with Brew on my macOS Sonoma 14.4 and built a minimum working example with CMake, but it didn't work.

When I used

find_package(Boost REQUIRED COMPONENTS python)

to find Boost and ran with command

cmake .. -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH='/usr/local/opt/boost' -DBoost_DEBUG=1

the following error occured:

CMake Error at /usr/local/lib/cmake/boost_python-1.90.0/boost_python-config.cmake:29 (include):
  include could not find requested file:

    /usr/local/lib/cmake/boost_python-1.90.0/../BoostDetectToolset-1.90.0.cmake
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  /usr/local/opt/boost/lib/cmake/Boost-1.90.0/BoostConfig.cmake:141 (find_package)
  /usr/local/opt/boost/lib/cmake/Boost-1.90.0/BoostConfig.cmake:262 (boost_find_component)
  CMakeLists.txt:10 (find_package)

After checking the file system, no file named BoostDetectToolset-1.90.0.cmake was found in either /usr/local/lib/cmake/boost_python-1.90.0/.., /usr/local/opt/boost-python3/lib/cmake, or /usr/local/Cellar/boost-python3/1.90.0/lib/cmake. The only BoostDetectToolset-1.90.0.cmake file was in /usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.90.0_1/lib/cmake.

Because there is a

include(${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/../BoostDetectToolset-1.90.0.cmake)

in the file /usr/local/lib/cmake/boost_python-1.90.0/boost_python-config.cmake which was auto-generated by Boost, and CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR here refers to /usr/local/lib/cmake/boost_python-config.cmake, I suppose there must be something wrong with the generator of the file.

The following are my minimum working example:
CMakeLists.txt
module.cpp

Do you have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
