Boost.CMake is an approach to a modularized build of the Boost C Libraries with CMake.

This is an experimental project. Usage for other purposes than testing is strongly discouraged!

• Aggregate modules from different sources (CVS, SVN, GIT, ...).
• Build, Test, Install
• Create a binary installer with selectable components for Windows and Mac OS.
• Create a source package (with the modules included) that can do everything in this list (except the first entry).
• Create a Debian source package that can be uploaded to a Launchpad PPA where it is built and packaged into many binary Debian packages.
• Tested on Windows (Visual Studio 10), Ubuntu (GCC) and Mac OS X (GCC).
• Binary installers contain debug and release build, as well as documentation.

Modules can be fetched from a number of different sources:

• Checkout the module's CVS repository (requires cvs command line client).
• Checkout the module's Subversion repository (requires svn command line client).
• Clone the module's Git repository (requires git command line client).
• Download and extract a compressed archive (No additional requirements: .tar.bz2, .tar.gz, .tgz and .zip are supported by CMake).
• Copy from pristine Boost release (currently nearly all modules use this one).
