| 3 | | We are developing an alternative build system for Boost based on [http://www.cmake.org CMake], a cross-platform, open-source make system. At this point, the CMake-based build system is still a work in progress, and it is unknown whether it will become a fully-supported build system within Boost. These pages document the CMake-based build system for Boost, and are focused primarily at Boost library developers. In the future, we will provide an alternative version of Boost's [http://www.boost.org/more/getting_started/index.html Getting Started] guide for CMake users. |

| | 19 | '''''The cmake build in the standard boost distribution tarball for 1.40.0 is BROKEN''''' |
| | 20 | |
| | 21 | The cmake distribution for 1.40.0 is on a branch in a git repository on gitorious.org: |
| | 22 | |
| | 23 | [http://gitorious.org/~straszheim/boost/cmake] |
| | 24 | |
| | 25 | The direct download link for a 1.40.0 cmake-buildable tarball is here: |
| | 26 | |
| | 27 | [http://gitorious.org/~straszheim/boost/cmake/commits/1.40.0] |
| | 28 | |
| | 29 | And the new documentation (which contains most of what is below. What is below |
| | 30 | is probably no longer completely reliable) is viewable online here: |
| | 31 | |
| | 32 | [http://gitorious.org/~straszheim/boost/cmake/blobs/raw/1.40.0/tools/build/CMake/docs/build/html/index.html] |
| | 33 | |
| | 34 | As well as inside the tarball in the directory `tools/build/CMake/docs/build/html/index.html` |
| | 35 | |
| | 36 | As usual, patches to the code and/or documentation are gratefully accepted. If you make a clone |
| | 37 | of the git repository, push your patches and make a merge request, even better. |
