Boost-Build : |

Searching for "Jam Cmake" on google provides access to on-line email
that might be what you are searching for.
In my opinion, bjam in the form of version 2, is worthy of serious
consideration, but not version 1.
This is because of my attempt to integrate pyste build steps into my Jam
build.
The attempt was a total failure because bjam v1 just does seem set up to
handle build steps that aren't related to compilers....
bjam v2 seems to solve this, though I haven't gotten to it yet.
On the plus side of bjam v1, I've always considered the most challenging
build task within the boost library the bgl-graphviz component of
boost.graph. It uses lex in a non-trivial way.
bjam v1 now handles this. Compare the files
"boost_1_31_0/libs/graph/build/Jamfile" and
"boost_1_31_0/libs/graph/src/Makefile" to get a non-trivial example of
Bjam usage. It isn't pretty, but the Makefile isn't either.
CMake is interesting.
I'm using it in other projects and it seems to have advantages, but I
haven't stress it in any way.
It also has a book out. The same can't be said about Bjam or Jam.
