IMHO, the only sensible way to use CMake (from the command-line, not the stupidly limited "IDE") with a (super-)project like boost on windows is to generate for and use nmake.
ninja (https://ninja-build.org) works like charm on multiple platforms. fwiw, cmake and b2 have different architecture as one is a build system the other is a generator for build systems. both have advantages and disadvantages.
