Perhaps you should be asking this on the Boost Build list (cc'd) <http://www.boost.org/community/groups.html#jamboost>. Where you are more likely to hear from people who use BBv2 outside of Boost. On 3/26/2011 10:08 AM, Gregory Crosswhite wrote:
Hey everyone,
Is there a reason why Boost uses Boost.Jam/Boost.Build for reasons other than tradition? Does it have advantages over other build systems, in particular CMake (which I consider to be its main competitor)? Are there many people/projects who use Boost.Jam/Boost.Build outside of Boost?
These questions are asked purely out of curiosity due to my ignorance of Boost.Jam/Boost.Build, not because I have an axe to grind.
Cheers, Greg
