Why does this not use Boost.Build? I'd expect that a library that's submitted for review would be buildable using the current Boost build system.
To be honest at the point I submitted the first version for review BBv2 was totally incapable of doing something useful like finding a library or header in a way normal BBv2 user can do this without rewriting entry BBv2 system. Now the library became even "more complicated": it requires additional library iconv, that may be part of libc or may be external library... such checks AFAIK are far beyond abilities of basic BBv2 user to implement (not mentioning total lack of basic documentation) Now Vladimir works on next version and improves it, so hopefully when it gets to inclusion to Boost, boost build files will be ready, meanwhile, just use CMake... as if I was waiting for BBv2 being ready I would not submit this library at all. Finally I asked on Boost-Build list for somebody volunteer and help me with BB scripts. See: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.build/23089 So I hope somebody would help me or BB would be ready to normal user who thinks that documentation and basic checks existing in all build systems are probably useful thing to have.
I do not see this addressed in either the documentation nor in the KNOWN_ISSUES file.
I mentioned this in the tutorial in build instructions. Artyom
