# On Ubuntu 14.04, the libboost-python1.54-dev package comes with one library
# for each Python version:
# libboost_python-py27.so
# libboost_python-py33.so
# libboost_python-py34.so
#
# Boost upstream however installs Boost.Python3 libboost_python3.so, which is
# what FindBoost.cmake is looking for. It looks for a library named
# "libboost_${component}.so".
#
# On Gentoo instead, the >=dev-libs/boost-1.54 package provides boost library
# with a name like:
# libboost_python-2.7.so
# libboost_python-3.3.so
# libboost_python-3.4.so
# depending on what python's targets you selected during install
#
# find_boost_python3() tries to find the package with different component
# names. By default it tries "python3", "python-py$suffix" and
# "python-$dotsuffix", where suffix is based on the `python_version` argument.
# One can supply a custom component name by setting the
# `CALAMARES_BOOST_PYTHON3_COMPONENT` variable at CMake time.
