A question has been brought up regarding whether or not a Boost library author is permitted to include a 'CMakeLists.txt' file in the root of the directory. This stemmed from a discussion at C++Now 2016 which included several members of the Boost Steering Committee and a sampling of the Boost community.
We recommend and propose that the Boost Guidelines are modified to allow library authors, at their own discretion, to include a 'CMakeLists.txt' file in their library's top-level directory.
I'm in favour, ignoring the discussion of which build system may be better allowing a CMakeLists.txt to be added to the top-level directory would be useful to a number of people, whilst inconveniencing none. There's precedence as well, boost::statechart has shipped a .sln in the top-level directory for years, this doesn't seem any different. [snip] -- David Sankel
