Dear all,

I have a CMake project that requires some header-only boost libraries: - container, dynamic_bitset, math, units

I would like CMake to always fetch automatically the latest version of these libraries and their dependencies from github as an external project.

AFAIK FindBoost doesn't do this, is there maybe a different cmake script that does?

Have you looked into the ExternalProject module distributed with CMake? http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/module/ExternalProject.html
