Hello,

can someone explain to me what's been going on with Boost.Build? I cannot find a conclusive reference in the mailing lists, but it looks like bjam is being replaced with cmake. Is that right?

No. While some folks like CMake better and are working on a CMake setup, it's unclear where that will lead.

If it is, how far has the effort gotten? I have a few tiny utilities written in C++ currently built and installed with GNU make, which I'd like to replace with something more portable, and I don't want to learn bjam and bbv2 if their replacement is around the corner.

You are safe in learning Boost.Build, it's not going away anytime soon. - Volodya
