Luigi,

Does the "CMakeified" version of Boost still not produce build outputs that match bjam by default? I remember when I looked at it a year or two ago there appeared to be only minor issues with the library names. I would have hoped that these issues would have been resolved by now.
I just tried the build with cmake 2.8.2 under MSVC9 using release build and static linking: There seem to be a minor inconsistency: when building Boost with cmake the static libs do not have the prefix "lib" so boost the auto-linking fails.
I have resolved by

1) when building boos, configure with -DLIBPREFIX=lib,

2) configure the project that search for boost with -DBoost_USE_STATIC_LIBS=ON

During the installation step of "cmakefied" boost, Boost.cmake config files get installed but not sure if FindBoost use it

I' m not sure if this can be solved in FindBoost, but was just raising attention on a (for me) much better build system for Boost

thanks
               Luigi


Could you elaborate in a bug report what does and doesn't work between FindBoost.cmake and the branch of Boost that you're referring to and I would be more than happy to look into the issue. I've heard reports of people getting FindBoost and CMakeified boost to play nice together but it involved changing build settings in CMakeified Boost (not quite ideal).
