Hi, I know the version layout of Boost build is preferred or even specific to Windows, but I like it in general, ie. on Linux. It lazily allows me to get everything built with single command:
b2 variant=debug,release address-model=32,64 --layout=versioned stage The versioned layout impose some challenges while find_package-ing at least I've experienced it using FindBoost.cmake from latest CMake 3.12. For example, running CMake in Linux environment with GCC 5.5.0 for find_package(Boost 1.65.0 REQUIRED COMPONENTS system) will attempt to search for ... -- [ /usr/local/share/cmake-3.12/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:1420 ] guessed _boost_COMPILER = -gcc55 ... -- [ /usr/local/share/cmake-3.12/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:1760 ] Searching for SYSTEM_LIBRARY_RELEASE: boost_system-gcc55-mt-1_69;boost_system-gcc55-mt;boost_system-mt-1_69;boost_system-mt;boost_system ... The issue is that b2 generated names like libboost_system-gcc5-mt-d-x64-1_69.a So, I had to bend CMake this way to find Boost for me: cmake -DBoost_COMPILER=-gcc5 -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_ARCHITECTURE_ID=x64 .. I'm not asking any specific questions here. I just thought that might be helpful to other users of FindBoost.cmake.
