Cannot build hello world

[ssg]

I am having trouble building the hello world server application. 

I am on Windows 10 and have Visual Studio 2017.

The latest boost 1_75_0 does not compile as it is missing asio/stream_socket_service.hpp. I therefore tried with 1_58_0, but I had trouble building it (seems more of a boost issue). So I tried with 1_67_0, and successfully executed bootstrap and .\b2 from the regular command prompt (it didn't seem to require the Developer command prompt).

I added two header paths (cpp=netlib and boost) and one lib path (boost only, as I had not compiled cp-netlib at that point). It all compiled and linked successfully till I added the line _server.run(), at which point it gave me a linker error for missing boost::network::http::parse_version.

So I gathered I have to build cpp-netlib. I created cpp-netlib-build as a sibling to boost_1_67_0 and cpp-netlib-0.13.0. From within  cpp-netlib-build  I ran cmake (I have  cmake 3.18.1): 

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DBOOST_ROOT=..\boost_1_67_0 ..\cpp-netlib-0.13.0

But cmake gives the following error:

I have no idea how to fix this one, tried quite a bit to no avail. Could you please help?
