I have noticed that work is going ahead to introduce CMake, and possibly SCons build systems alongside bjam.
Does this not introduce an explosion in required testing combinations, and is this already being addressed?
It was my understanding that Boost would eventually discontinue using bjam for its build system and switch entirely to CMake. Is this correct, or am I merely misremembering things?
You are misremembering things. The outcome you mention is just what CMake folks want ;-)
Also some Boost folks. ;-) But, Volodya's right: it isn't a done deal. Right now we don't have a complete testing system built around CMake, so nobody's in any position to propose CMake as a bjam replacement yet. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
