Visual studio 2017 and cmake (WSL)

Question
-
Hello.
My question is about a project in C ++ and working with a remote(WSL or VirtualBox) machine(Ubuntu16.04, Debian9.5).
1. My projects has this structure:
Lib1
Lib2
Lib3
Lib4
Lib5Folder(project1) with cmake project file for project1, his structure:
add_subdirectory(Lib1)
add_subdirectory(Lib2)
add_subdirectory(Lib4)Folder(project2) with cmake project file for project2, his structure:
add_subdirectory(Lib3)
add_subdirectory(Lib4)
add_subdirectory(Lib5)I think it’s clear why project(smake) files are allocated in separate directories.
Question: How can I open only the project what I need, not open folder with subprojects that I do not need?
2. Next problem of working with boost.
I install a package with boost on the WSL or VirtualBox.After that, the studio should be synchronized with the fact that the system has appeared to have a boost, and the studio should see the paths to the library and header files.
This is not happening.
Question: how to solve it?
For example, in IDE CLion it all works.Thanks for the help in solving.
