Versions

1.40.0

The cmake build in the standard boost distribution tarball for 1.40.0 is BROKEN

The cmake distribution for 1.40.0 is on a branch in a git repository on gitorious.org:

http://gitorious.org/~straszheim/boost/cmake

The latest tag for is 1.40.0.cmake1 (Oct 10, 2009).

The direct download link for a 1.40.0 cmake-buildable tarball is here:

http://gitorious.org/~straszheim/boost/cmake/commits/1.40.0

and if that link gives you trouble, there are already exported tarballs here:

http://sodium.resophonic.com/boost-cmake

The new documentation (which contains most of what is below. What is below is probably no longer completely reliable) is viewable online here:

http://gitorious.org/~straszheim/boost/cmake/blobs/raw/1.40.0/tools/build/CMake/docs/build/html/index.html

As well as inside the tarball in the directory tools/build/CMake/docs/build/html/index.html

As usual, patches to the code and/or documentation are gratefully accepted. If you make a clone of the git repository, push your patches and make a merge request, even better.

1.39.0 and 1.38.0

See the notes by version.
