After experiencing non-stop frustration with building boost 1.36
on OS X
with bjam/boost.build, I was excited to discover that there has been
significant work on porting to CMake. A couple of questions:
1) where are the most current CMake build files located?
$SVN/branches/CMake/release. I'm not sure how long it has
been since a merge was done from the main branches/release.
2) are build options for static vs. dynamic and single vs. multi-
threaded
implemented?
Yeah, see
http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/CMake
3) can we build Universal binaries?
4) can we build an OSX Framework?
I believe cmake supports all this. It shouldn't be terribly
difficult,
of course you don't know until you try... :)
CMake can build Universal binaries. Just set the CMake variable
CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES to a semicolon-separated list of architectures
(e.g., i386;ppc).
We don't currently support building Boost as an OSX framework. That
would be a *great* way for Boost to be built and distributed on Mac OS
X, but we haven't tried doing so yet.
I would love to help make this happen - the current bjam/Boost.Build
system for OSX
seems to be getting crappier and harder to make work rather than
better and easier.
Obviously, the natural way to distribute Boost on OSX is as a single
Universal Framework.
I'm no expert in the area, but would be willing to expend some effort
on this, especially
if there is some support on the CMake side...
