CMP0167ΒΆ
New in version 3.30.
The FindBoost
module is removed.
CMake 3.29 and below provide a FindBoost
module, but it needs constant
updates to keep up with upstream Boost releases. Upstream Boost 1.70
and above provide a BoostConfig.cmake
package configuration file.
find_package(Boost CONFIG)
finds the upstream package directly,
without the find module.
CMake 3.30 and above prefer to not provide the FindBoost
module
so that find_package(Boost)
calls, without the CONFIG
or
NO_MODULE
options, find the upstream BoostConfig.cmake
directly.
This policy provides compatibility for projects that have not been ported
to use the upstream Boost package.
The OLD
behavior of this policy is for find_package(Boost)
to
load CMake's FindBoost
module. The NEW
behavior is for
find_package(Boost)
to search for the upstream BoostConfig.cmake
.
This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.30.
It may be set by cmake_policy()
or cmake_minimum_required()
.
If it is not set, CMake warns, and uses OLD
behavior.
Note
The OLD
behavior of a policy is
deprecated by definition
and may be removed in a future version of CMake.
