Hello, I was trying to set the boost directory because it failed while configuring. What I had to do to get it running on windows, was to set the environmental variable BOOST_DIR with four backslashes. That way I had no parse errors, because of the set command in cmake (see here <http://stackoverflow.com/a/13052993>).
set BOOST_DIR=C:\\\\Path to\\\\my\\\\boost cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=..\installed ..\dealii-8.4.1 Am Dienstag, 15.
