If you use BoostTest.cmake, it supports those. https://github.com/boostorg/cmake/blob/8da84d1b53cc23000e39294eeac817c899783... https://github.com/boostorg/uuid/blob/2b160eb689ca3775b9522ce9437655e905967b...

## Double efforts for build scripts Manual rewriting of Jamfiles to CMakeLists is boring and tiring. Keeping those two in sync is pain.

If your test/Jamfile is simple enough, you can use boost_test_jamfile. https://github.com/boostorg/endian/blob/c0b5c80603b8de7eeea8724c9a4f2761c3df...
