So I hacked on bcp a bit to add in the detection of CMake files so
when doing something like:
[mjackson] $ bcp boost/program_options.hpp boost/smart_ptr.hpp boost/
pointer_cast.hpp boost/algorithm/string.hpp boost/thread.hpp tools/
build/cmake /tmp/Boost-1.41.0
All the necessary CMake files will be copied into the new Subset
directory. I tested this on OS X and it shockingly worked quite well.
Also a bit of a shock was the shear number of files that needed to be
copied from boost just for shared_ptr.hpp
I then took that Subset directory and copied it over to a Windows 7
x64 with VS 2008 standard installed. Launched CMake, configured the
build. Then I attempted to "generate" and this is where the first
problem appeared. During generation on Windows (through the MSVC
Command prompt/32 bit) CMake is now looking for $BOOST_ROOT/build/
CMakeLists.txt file which it did NOT do on OS X. I am using the same
set of options on each platform.
Comments anyone? Anyone want to see the bcp sources?
<reasoning>Boost is just a HUGE dependence for just a few things
that I need (shared_ptr and threads). There are memory leak bugs that
are not getting fixed, bjam just sucks to use, and the shear size of
boost is just insane for my project (and others needing my project).
So a small subset of Boost is really all that is required. I can embed
this into my project and the size of my project will not get too out
of hand. . Thanks for listening and any comments.</reasoning>
