Good to see you over here
------------------------------------------------------------
I used CMake to build boost 1.39 and found at least two problems:
- In the cmakelist.txt file the BOOST_VERSION_MINOR is 38, instead of 39
A known problem. You can tweak this in the toplevel CMakeLists.txt.
Look for BOOST_VERSION_MINOR. I will also sooner or later put up a git
branch containing all the patches we collect.
- The generated boost.test libs have an additional “-s” to the file
names, ex. libboost_unit_test_framework-vc90-mt-1_39-s.lib, instead of
libboost_unit_test_framework-vc90-mt-1_39.lib. This will cause a linking
error while using boost.test. this does not happen to the bjamed results.
In the cmakefiles I see
# If the STATIC_TAG flag was set, we append "-s" to the name of
# the library. This is an unfortunate hack, needed only for the
# test library.
if (THIS_LIB_STATIC_TAG)
set(THIS_LIB_STATIC_TAG "-s")
But I don't remember all the details of the hack, and I wonder if I can
just create a patched version that removes this. Can you just refer to
liblahblah-s from your side?
Another thing I noticed but am not sure is that signal2 is not included
in the CMake support(no cmakelists.txt under signals).
not on the trunk or release branches either... but it is a headeronly
library. Are you trying to run the tests? I've updated the docs to
point out that 1.38 and 1.39 the only support is for building
/installing the libraries, not for running tests within boost.
I've added a "Known Issues" section to the docs... could you help me be
sure that the information is complete?
