Hi guys, Why does `b2 --show-libraries` not show the libraries and exit as --help says it should? I am using boostorg/boost 02b24152984db5f8291778699f87a24dfce49aca, and also see the same behavior on tag boost-1.89.0. It instead goes on to build everything. That's opposite of the --help documentation. Is there not a unit test for this basic feature??? How many other basic features don't have unit tests? How do I just use cmake add_subdirectory(boost) from the boostorg/boost repo? I'm stuck trying to use externalproject_add I just need to build static libraries for packages, and want to have a loop in cmake that does --without-<library> for all of the libraries that I don't depend on. Or, even better, let CMake handle all of the dependencies for any boost libs that depend on each other, if I depend on one of them -- Keith Bennett
