CMake, for instance, does not really build. AFAIK, it generates build instructions for the real build system.

That's my understanding, too.

This is unacceptable to me, I want something that really builds the program and also runs tests from the command line

That are pretty much my requirements when switching through a ton of different configurations of compiler versions / bitness (32 or 64) / mode (debug or release) when I test changes to one of the 110 Boost libraries, that I needed to fork.

JFYI, same commands used on every system 1. generate> cmake .. 2. build> cmake --build . 3. test> ctest

Ok, so how do I fire off a libraries test-suite using f.i. msvc-14.1/32/release concurrently to another one using f.i. msvc-14.0/64/release (and may be some more)? I may be missing something. At present I start one process using b2 with these three configuration parameters for each one of the configuration tuples. Something similar happens when I build a Boost distribution. Ciao Dani
