build simExtROS2Interface on Windows 10

edit

I was wondering if anyone has built simExtROS2Interface on WIndows 10 successfully? If you did, could you please share your experience. I understand that simExtROS2Interface depends on image_transport package. I have acquired it from https://github.com/ros-perception/ima.... I can build image_common-ros2 without problems. Also, simExtROS2Interface makes use of the boost library. I also downloaded and installed the boost library in my local drive c:/local/boost_1_74_0. But, building ros2_bubble_rob and sim_ros2_interface failed because cmake was unable to locate boost header files.

If you have done this successfully, how did you manage to tell cmake where to look for boost header files? Thanks.
