Dear Boost,
I'd like to inquire about the status of the CMake-ification of Boost that had been started a while ago. AFAICT, the effort is completely stopped now; is this correct?
Also, I'd like to poll the community to gauge interest in the rebirth of such an effort. __I'm not proposing myself to work on such a rebirth__, but I'm just curious to know what the community thinks about it. I, for one, would love to see it happen.
There's no reason you can't do it for your own library. The serialization library includes a CMake directory which I use to build and debug the library. It's not very hard and it doesn't conflict with the boost build system. Also not that in the incubator I describe way to set up CMake so that one doesn't have to sprinkle CMakeList.txt files all over the place so it's really non-intrusive. On the other hand, boost build does somethings that CMake can't do. So making a CMake file doesn't get one off the hook for making the bjam file. Robert Ramey
