Thanks, It worked
This behaviour is different from bjam.
I'm not too concerned with doing things exactly as bjam does them.
In the case of zlib/bzip2, we want to rely as much as possible on
cmake's built-in package-finding mechanisms:
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake-2-8-docs.html#module:FindZLIB
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake-2-8-docs.html#module:FindBZip2
If ZLIB_INCLUDE_DIR is not defined and ZLIB_SOURCE is defined, bjam
builds a zlib library automatically with boost prefix.
I don't follow you here. bjam automagically downloads and builds zlib?
My initial reaction is that I wouldn't want to emulate this.
Same is the case for bzip2 as well. CMake is not considering Source
directories for the same. Is this the intended behaviour ?
Not that this is an issue for me, but just out of curiosity.
On most linux distributions, bzip and zlib are found automatically
by the Find(ZLib|BZip2) modules and used if available. You have the
option to set the INCLUDE_DIRS, LIBRARIES, and FOUND yourself if
they're not detected because they are in in nonstandard locations.
One more thing I've observed is the Install target. The boost include
headers are installed in ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/include, instead of
${CMAKE_INSTALL_DIRECTORY}/include/boost-1_41. I'm using cmake for
my project and cmake checks for include/boost-1_41/boost/version.hpp
file (I'm using cmake-2.8)
Due to this my cmake script is not finding out boost. So this
behaviour is also changed ?
I'll have a look at this as well, I'm sure we can provide a compatiblity
mode or something. There are some new goodies in boost.cmake aimed
directly at developers who build both boost and their own projects with
cmake. See:
http://sodium.resophonic.com/boost-cmake/1.41.0.cmake0/doc/exported_targets.html
Again this is new stuff, so I'd be glad to have some testing and feedback.
Thanks for all the reports!
