I have been struggling with this for some time. I use CPM package manager to pull libraries from github for my project. I prefer it this way, instead of other linking methods. I also tried gh:boostorg/dynamic_bitset but that gave me issues as well. I was able to get cmake to generate for the cMakeList below.
The header #include <boost/dynamic_bitset.hpp> is underlined in purple (I use visual studio), "cannot open source file 'boost/dynamic_bitset.hpp'"
cmake_minimum_required( VERSION 3.5 )
find_package(Git)

Weird it won't work the way CPM usually allows me, replacing the CPMAddPackage line for boost with the one below resolved it. CPMAddPackage( NAME Boost URL "https://github.com/boostorg/boost/releases/download/boost-1.83.0/boost-1.83.0.tar.xz")
