Error linking boost with Visual Studio and vcpkg

I am trying to accomplish a simple task in order to check how easy is to develop "Linux apps" in Windows.

I am using vcpkg from Microsoft in order to setup headers and libs and crow , an c++ http server that uses boost as a driver project

The source is simple

#include "crow.hpp"

int main()
{
    crow::SimpleApp app;

    CROW_ROUTE(app, "/")
        ([]() {
        return "Hello world!";
    });

    app.port(18080).run();
}

I have downloaded boost via vcpkg and used Visual Studio to code the project

cmake:

cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 3.8) find_package(boost COMPONENTS filesystem system thread date_time REQUIRED) message("this is ${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS}")

include_directories ("C:\\github.com\\crow\\include")
include_directories(SYSTEM PUBLIC ${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})

add_executable (engine "promo-engine-windows.cpp" "promo-engine-windows.h")

target_link_libraries(engine  ${Boost_LIBRARIES})

CMakeSettings.json

{
  "configurations": [
    {
      "name": "x86-Debug",
      "generator": "Visual Studio 15 2017",
      "configurationType": "Debug",
      "buildRoot": "${env.USERPROFILE}\\CMakeBuilds\\${workspaceHash}\\build\\${name}",
      "cmakeCommandArgs": "",
      "buildCommandArgs": "-m -v:minimal",
      "variables": [
        {
          "name": "CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE",
          "value": "C:\\github.com\\vcpkg\\scripts\\buildsystems\\vcpkg.cmake"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Linking gives errors:

Does it ring a bell to anyone? I am struggling hours with this.
