3. Do we (boost developers) really have any problems with BBv2?
Yes, I do. I started that project, so I have a vested interest in it. Still, I'm just about ready to stop sinking any more time into it. Just off the top of my head:
- the build process part of bjam is inscrutable even to experts - the language in which it is written is used in no other tool or project, thus presenting a barrier-to-entry for volunteers.
I'd expect that at least these two objections also apply to CMake.
Quite the opposite. CMake doesn't "do" build proceess: it delegates to lower-level tools like make or your IDE, and AFAIK, it's written in C++. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com Don't Miss BoostCon 2007! ==> http://www.boostcon.com
