Howdy all,
This is a request for comments on a possible path for migrating Boost's build system to CMake. I am not speaking for the Boost Program Committee here, but I plan on bringing this up with them after getting feedback.
<snip>
I see this progressing with several milestones.
1. Release of a CMake-buildable Boost and the CMake conventions. In this stage each Boost library can be built in isolation or with the entire distribution and all the 'FindBoost' functionality mentioned above would be incorporated. 2. The unit tests for all Boost libraries are incorporated into CTest (the CMake unit test orchestration tools). 3. The Boost infrastructure is modified to use CTest for unit testing. 4. Unit testing functionality is removed from Boost.Build. 5. Boost.Build is removed.
What will be wrong supporting two build systems, at least for a while? Best, Vicente
