Therefore, we, the Steering Committee, announce to the Boost community our desire and intent to move Boost’s build system to CMake for users and developers alike.

Thank You!

Finally we will have documented, maintained, human readable and feature rich build system! It is so good as I have numerous issues lagging in tickets bug reports for Boost.Locale that it is almost impossible to fix due to total lack of support of basic stuff like built in libraries dependencies search/configuration.

Once Again Thank You.

I second Artyom's. There are numerous issues dangling around Boost.GIL related to IO, and build configuration that can easily pick up user-installed zlib, libpng, libjpeg is on demand. Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net
