I am trying to compile https://github.com/lowRISC/riscv-isa-sim.git in msys2, but I cant get it to work, despite having boost and asio packages installed.

I get

/riscv-isa-sim-cosim$ ./configure  --enable-commitlog --enable-misaligned

As you can see, the system detects Boost::ASIO is available, but it struggles with the version, why is this happening?
