Package "boost_atomic" NOT FOUND when running CMake - linux

Question

I'm trying to install RStudio Desktop using these instructions. This requires boost >= v1.69. I'm running Ubuntu 18.10 in a Windows subsystem (WSL), and there is no repository for this version of boost. Consequently, I installed boost v1.70 from source using these instructions.
However, when I run the cmake command in the RStudio install instructions, I get this:
(base) balter#spectre3:~$ cmake .. -DRSTUDIO_TARGET=Desktop -DRSTUDIO_PACKAGE_BUILD=1
CMake Error: The source directory "/home" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.
(base) balter#spectre3:~$ cd rstudio/build/
(base) balter#spectre3:~/rstudio/build$ cmake .. -DRSTUDIO_TARGET=Desktop -DRSTUDIO_PACKAGE_BUILD=1

but it set boost_atomic_FOUND to FALSE so package "boost_atomic" is
considered to be NOT FOUND. Reason given by package:
