Boost (1.76.0) Error during Caffe Build OSX - boost

Question

I am dealing with a little snag that came up while trying to build Caffe from source. First, I will describe the steps I took and then the error itself.
git clone https://github.com/CMU-Perceptual-Computing-Lab/caffe
mkdir build; cd build
brew install boost
brew install boost-python3
The following change to CMakeCache.txt to help CMake find veclib (idk if this is relevant):
vecLib_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=vecLib_INCLUDE_DIR-NOTFOUND -> vecLib_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Accelerate.framework/Versions/Current/Frameworks/vecLib.framework/Headers/
Here is the relevant part of caffe/build/Dependencies.cmake:
set(BOOST_ROOT "usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.76.0")
set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON)
find_package(Boost 1.54 REQUIRED COMPONENTS system thread filesystem)
list(APPEND Caffe_INCLUDE_DIRS PUBLIC ${Boost_INCLUDE_DIR})
list(APPEND Caffe_LINKER_LIBS PUBLIC ${Boost_LIBRARIES})
Afterwards from caffe/build
cmake ..
Which produces the following log:
CMake Deprecation Warning at CMakeLists.txt:1 (cmake_minimum_required):
Compatibility with CMake < 2.8.12 will be removed from a future version of
CMake.
Update the VERSION argument <min> value or use a ...<max> suffix to tell
CMake that the project does not need compatibility with older versions.

The error responsible for the failure is:
CMake Error at /usr/local/lib/cmake/boost_python-1.76.0/boost_python-config.cmake:29 (include):
include could not find requested file:
/usr/local/lib/cmake/boost_python-1.76.0/../BoostDetectToolset-1.76.0.cmake
What is BoostDetectToolset-1.76.0.cmake? I tried placing this file: https://github.com/boostorg/boost_install/blob/develop/BoostDetectToolset.cmake (after renaming) at the above file path but the error persists. I am embarrassed to admit I also tried commenting out line 29 in boost_python-config.cmake. cmake ran fine, make failed. Could the absence of the file be symptomatic of boost-python3 incompatability with this caffe build? I have Conda installed and I may have forgotten to deactivate the base environment in the beginning, maybe this led to the issue somehow (different python versions at different points during the build process)
I tried:
brew install boost-python
but it failed. Maybe this will be patched in the future. Is it more advisable at this point to switch to an alternative like pybind11?
