Re: The deadline for Major changes for Boost 1.77.0 is TODAY!

That is unfortunate.  We are using the IBM xlclang++ compiler front-end, and boost's current build system can't do anything with it.  Fixing that looks like a fairly large project, so I am planning on waiting until CMake can build it.
If the source distributions contain CMakeList.txt files for the subset of boost libraries we use on AIX, we might still be able to use it.   Is there a post or page where can I find more information about the project to switch to CMake, and perhaps get involved?

    Hard to say because many libraries have not been merged to master yet, but
    probably not. 1.78 will probably be the first that is somewhat-buildable.
