Yet another dependency - yay!
Thisisi a rather big word, isn't it? Just dump the exe in a folder included in the path and forget about it.
With every suggestion on how to get around deficiencies of CMake when it comes to actually build (and test) something things are getting more complicated.
It's a deficiency of nmake jom is fixing, not of CMake.
From my pov as a (almost daily) tester of both individual Boost libraries and all of Boost in different configurations, and as a Boost distro maintainer, this sounds like a growing nightmare when I compare it to the simplicity and ease-of-use of Boost.Build in those scenarios that I have to deal with.
Don't dis-agree with you there. Steven questioned the parallel capabilities of nmake, and apparently it's a real concern as somebody/some peops decided (and put the effort into it) they would offer an open source free utility to provide the parallelisation required. degski -- "*Ihre sogenannte Religion wirkt bloß wie ein Opiat reizend, betäubend, Schmerzen aus Schwäche stillend.*" - Novalis 1798
