CMake is a widely used build system and has become for many the de facto standard. Boost is a widely used collection of modules and has become for many part of the de facto standard. However, the two do not play very well together.
I am very much interested in a port to CMake, and so are a few other members of the community (even if they sometimes stay quiet). There's also the silent majority of Boost users that want something like this.
I know there is another port of boost to CMake, but it has lain dormant for years and uses an old version of boost; plus I chose to take a different route. [...] The old project attempted to completely replace Boost.Build with CMake. My example port simply allows people to more easily use boost modules in their projects.
Are you talking about https://github.com/boost-cmake/boost-cmake ? If not, then I would suggest you have a look at it. I think any CMake effort should start from there, since the largest part of the work is already done. If you are aware of this project, I think a clarification of why you think it's not fit for what you want to do would be good.
