Boost.Mustache is an implementation of Mustache templates in C++11.
I cloned this bad boy into ${BOOST}/libs and then tried to build a Visual Studio Solution for it with: $ cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 -B bin64 Unfortunately this failed, and I got a bunch of errors like this: CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:10 (add_library): Target "boost_mustache" links to target "Boost::config" but the target was not found. Perhaps a find_package() call is missing for an IMPORTED target, or an ALIAS target is missing? Then I was advised by the author to use this command line from the root: cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 -B libs/mustache/bin64 -DBOOST_INCLUDE_LIBRARIES=mustache -DBUILD_TESTING=ON This also produced an error: CMake Error: The source "C:/Users/vinnie/src/boost/CMakeLists.txt" does not match the source "C:/Users/vinnie/src/boost/libs/mustache/CMakeLists.txt" used to generate cache. Re-run cmake with a different source directory. Tried adding the path to the lib: cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 -B libs/mustache/bin64 -DBOOST_INCLUDE_LIBRARIES=mustache -DBUILD_TESTING=ON libs/mustache Same result. Well I deleted all the cached artifacts and then used this line cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 -B bin.v2/vs/mustache -DBOOST_INCLUDE_LIBRARIES=mustache -DBUILD_TESTING=ON libs/mustache Finally I got a Visual Studio solution with some projects in it (see attached image). It builds but the solution and projects have some cosmetic issues: * Every solution built from the root has the same name Boost.sln * Every Visual Studio window that opens Boost.sln has the title "Boost" (can't tell which is which) * mustache .vcxproj files have unnecessary nesting. "Header Files" folder then "boost" then "mustache". * dependencies are thrown together with the library-specific projects It works, but does not bring me joy. Thanks
