[cmake-developers] Hi and issues with FindBoost

[Robert Sawko]

Hello,

My name is Robert Sawko and I have interest in software packages related mainly
to fluid dynamics and high-performance computing. I've been using CMake for a
while now and know the basics, but don't have experience with writing my own
modules yet.

I am joining the list as I would like to share my experience with FindBoost
module and I couldn't find a dedicated bug tracker for cmake modules. Follwing
the advice in here

https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/community/wikis/doc/cmake/dev/Module-Maintainers#list

I am happy to get involved in the maintenance, but would probably need a
guiding hand. Originally, I've written up my issue on SO originally, but had no
response:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54205073/boost-root-not-respected-at-link-stage-after-cmake-config

We build VTK apps and regularly use boost to add more advanced things like
program_options but the cross-platform compilation is proving to be an issue.

Best wishes,
Robert
