It means that your Boost was compiled with a v143 toolchain, but you’re using a v142 toolchain. This combination is not supported. You’ll need to use the same compiler for Boost and your project.

what is the command to define vc142?
cmake -G generator?

It’s more about the toolchain than the generator. I think v142 is the default VS2019 toolchain.

v143 is vs2020 ?

VS2022; Visual Studio releases every 2-3 years.
