Hi Mateusz, I absolutely agree - use the latest CMake! That will help fix and bugs and ensure it works with more up-to-date versions of Boost.
My cut and paste instructions were from 2 different computers, and the one I wrote the mail on has an older version of CMake - I wasn't suggesting people purposely use an old version, more to use the steps with the latest version. I've just got a new development machine - so now I'm working with new CMake :) So, if I may, I will add another step... 0. Download and install the latest CMake Thank-you, Gavin -----Original Message----- From: CMake [mailto:cmake-boun...@cmake.org] On Behalf Of Mateusz Loskot Sent: 07 August 2018 17:34 To: cmake@cmake.org Subject: Re: [CMake] Boost + CMake + Windows + Sanity -> Possible?
