Well, personally, I prefer not to have to learn a new build system if I 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, Is there a link to a synthetic answer to that opinion/point of view/analysis. Basically, a technical justification of the usage of bjam for boost, which always seemed kind of odd to me). I'm just looking for a link, which is why I don't start a new thread (I could not come with a troll safe title).

Thanks Alain

and the email that started this topic is about Boost.Build tutorial - let's stick to it.
