So, the header files you´re looking for are there, right?

Completely is always a tricky concept. It depends on PACKAGECONFIG, if
something is --disabled by default and it´s not built, the package is
going to be "complete".

So, take a look in PACKAGECONFIG from boost recipe, only to make sure....

And bitbake boost should build the default complete package
