Ah, that explains it. With BUILD_TESTING off, you should be able to
load the Boost project into the VC++ IDE without much delay. By
consolidating library tests into a small number of executables (rather
than, *ahem*, Serialization's 400+ executable tests), we should
eliminate this bottleneck with the VC++ IDE *and* save a lot of time
and space when building/running Boost's regression tests.

Great start! In the Windows section, * Use the Browse... button to point CMake at the Boost source code in $BOOST\src. * Use the second Browse... button to select the directory where Boost will build binaries, $BOOST\build. * CMake will ask you what kind of project files or make files to build. If you’re using Microsoft Visual Studio, select the appropriate version to generate project files. Otherwise, you can use Borland’s make files, generate NMake files, etc. * Click Configure a first time to configure Boost, which will search for various libraries on your system and prepare the build. * You will then be given the opportunity to tune build options in the CMake GUI (see also [wiki:CMakeBuildConfiguration]. These options will affect what libraries are built and how. They will initially appear red. Click Configure again when you are done editing them. * Finally, click OK to generate project files. The third bullet item actually happens after the 4th bullet item. I first tried to use the VC++ IDE compiler. The Solution file is so large it is impossibly slow to load and unload. A non-starter. Bill or Brad had warned about that, so no surprise, and I just moved on to the command line compiler. That's what I prefer for these canned builds anyhow. That is specified as "nmake" rather than by something descriptive like "Microsoft command line tools". I'd really prefer not to ever know of the existence of nmake. That is where bjam shines. So I'm looking forward to a wrapper that hides all make tools behind a common interface. I typed "nmake", hoping that might be all that was required, and compiles started to run, and .lib and .exp files started to appear in the lib sub-directory while .dll and .exe files started to appear in the bin sub-directory. The files identified the build as 1_38, so it looks like yet another version number needs updating between releases. (I was running on branches/release). After [100%], there were error messages: Linking CXX executable ..\..\bin\bcp.exe LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'boost_system-mt-shared-debug.lib' LINK Pass 1 failed. with 2 NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files (x86)\CMake 2.6\bin\cmake.exe"' : return code '0xf fff' Stop.
