Re: [boost] Boost.Build: new tutorial

Although I know enough bjam to not get much personally from a tutorial, I am happy to see it improve.

So thanks to Steven and Vladimir for maintaining it all these years! -Matt On Nov 12, 2014 12:17 AM, "Vladimir Prus" wrote:

don't have to. So my first stance would be: what's wrong with cmake, for example?

Ditto. Progress is being made on creating a package manager for use with CMake https://github.com/ruslo/hunter; cmake has a community that can actually answer questions. Bjam is orphaned AFAICT.

I think you've expressed this opinion earlier, repeating it does not make it stronger, and the email that started this topic is about Boost.Build tutorial - let's stick to it.
