boost-cmake
A CMake module that automatically downloads and builds Boost libraries with your project's compiler and flags.
What is boost-cmake?
Boost CMake is a CMake module that automates the integration of Boost C++ libraries into CMake-based projects. It solves the problem of manually building Boost for different platforms or managing version conflicts by downloading and compiling Boost directly as part of the CMake configuration process. This ensures Boost is built with the same compiler, architecture, and flags as the rest of your project.
C++ developers using CMake as their build system who need to incorporate Boost libraries without dealing with manual compilation or external package managers.
Developers choose Boost CMake because it eliminates platform-specific Boost build hassles, ensures consistent compilation settings, and integrates seamlessly into existing CMake workflows with minimal configuration.
