Plain Old CMake-ified Boost

boost's Introduction

           CMake-ified Boost
           -----------------

First of all, the (pristine/official) Boost project can be found on:
http://www.boost.org

The CMake build framework (set of CMakeLists.txt and module.cmake files)
is then added on top of the official Boost release, thanks to a 
dedicated patch.

That CMake framework (and patch) is hosted and maintained on GitHub,
in the following Git repository: https://github.com/pocb/boost
POCB stands for Plain Old CMake-ified Boost, as opposed to the new Ryppl
initiative towards a modularised Boost, also using extensively CMake.
However, as of today (June 2011), that framework does not allow
easily building Boost for Linux distributions.

[A clone also exists on Gitorious, where CMake-related work was formely done:
http://gitorious.org/boost/cmake]

Upstream work is synchronised thanks to the Ryppl's hosted Git clone:
https://github.com/ryppl/boost-svn/tree/trunk

A discussion explaining the details can be read on the Ryppl Google Group:
https://groups.google.com/group/ryppl-dev/browse_thread/thread/4e2ffe397d03eaee/b619c95964b0e003?hl=en&#b619c95964b0e003

The Ryppl project (http://www.ryppl.org) is maintained by Eric Niebler and
Dave Abrahams, from the Boost project, and is itself a lot more than just 
about synchronisation:
"Ryppl aims to be a distributed cross-platform software management system 
designed to accommodate both end-users and developers. Ryppl unites
version control, test management, package management, release management,
reporting, and other sub-systems into a coherent and scalable software 
management system."

That current CMake-ification (sub-)project aims to be fully integrated 
into the Ryppl project. There is still some work to be done on the
CMake-ification of modularised Boost. If you would like to contribute,
do not hesitate to subscribe to the Ryppl mailing list:

Locale fails to build without ICU

Not having or disabling ICU causes cmake-release/cmake-1.49.0 to fail to build, because none of the other defines in libs/locale/src/encoding/codepage.cpp are satisfied.

Linking errors on 1.52 and vs2010

I didn't manage compile many of the modules. For example thread-mt-shared failed to compile because it's not linked with system-mt-shared.

Failed to build 1.48.0 under Mac OS X Lion

When building, it stops at building shared library of chrono, which says undefined reference to some symbols in system module.

From the linking.txt, seems like the linking command doesn't link the other dependence libraries. This works for linux system, but for on MacOSX, leaving undefined symbols there will cause linker errors:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3695234/what-is-the-deal-with-undefined-symbols-in-a-shared-library-or-dylib

I wonder if anyone else has succeeded building on Mac so it is just my misconfiguration of toolchains (I used macports).

Another question is if it really has issues building on Mac, then do you have any plan to support the Mac platform?

Thanks.

New boost-1.48.0 timers not built

boost-1.48.0 has a new timer API (Boost.Timer v2 [1]), but the corresponding libboost_timer.so library is not build by these cmake files.
