Ryan, Thanks for the helper script - I'll try that out on Monday.
Does anybody know if the FindBoost.cmake file is maintained by the CMake developers, or does it have a 3rd party maintainer ? It would be nice to see some logic similar to your script incorporated by default so that other people experience the simplicity of it just working straight out of the box. -- Glenn On 14 November 2014 16:23, Ryan Pavlik <ryan.pav...@gmail.com> wrote: > I've used a script to help it out a bit.
