TL;TR: Which is the right mailing list to discuss CMake in Boost?

Numerous CMake discussions happened here lately which, I think, were mostly about the grand Boost vs CMake strategy, politics.

The boost-cmake ml has been quiet for years now, according to its archives. https://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-cmake

Whereas, there has been lots of activity in development of CMake for various aspects: to use CMake inside Boost. to use CMake to build Boost, etc. That is https://github.com/boost-cmake where, in particular, I'm interested in https://github.com/boost-cmake/bcm

Where can I ask *technical* questions about those to avoid polluting wrong list?

I would like to point this as well: https://github.com/raffienficiaud/boost-cmake

Thanks for the pointer.

Facing abundance of CMake for Boost attempts, we may need a comparison matrix ;)

How easy is it to create a ML?

One exists already, or you mean different one? https://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-cmake

Right! The ML is still there, I agree that we should discuss those things in another place. My attempt is pretty advanced as all libraries can be more or less visible on an IDE without much effort. I do not require from a library author much for adapting the library to cmake, only a couple of variables, and some dependency definition. I was stuck on the handling of the stdlib static libraries, required for instance for the libICU linking in regex. This is not handled well by cmake, and requires changing the compilation definitions, which I would like to avoid. I have also "some" unit testing of those cmake files, and a quickbook target that I need to finish. I am willing to get this done :) Cheers, Raffi
