April 2025 monthly summary for Xilinx/XRT focused on build system modernization and long-term maintainability. The primary feature delivered was centralizing Boost discovery under CMake CONFIG, consolidating Boost lookup logic into boostUtil.cmake to support cross-platform builds. This replaces the deprecated FindBoost module and aligns with modern CMake practice for CMake 3.29+. Key achievements and delivery: - Build System Modernization: Centralized Boost discovery under CMake CONFIG, enabling consistent Boost resolution across Windows and other platforms via boostUtil.cmake. - Deprecation migration: Replaced FindBoost with find_package(Boost CONFIG) to future-proof the build and reduce maintenance risk. - Change integration: Implemented and committed to unify Boost discovery logic; single-source maintenance reduces duplication and improves scalability across repos. Commit reference: - dffc07e12147cb9384ce72d3a63a1897be61dfa1 — "CMake: Win: use find_package(Boost CONFIG) latest cmake (#8919)". Major bugs fixed: None reported in this period for XRT; work focused on build system modernization and maintainability. Overall impact and business value: - Improves build reliability and portability across platforms, reducing time to onboard contributors and lowering risk of platform-specific build failures. - Increases maintainability through centralized Boost discovery logic and alignment with current CMake best practices, enabling faster future enhancements. Technologies and skills demonstrated: - CMake (CONFIG模式, 3.29+), Boost integration, cross-platform build scripting - Refactoring and modularization (boostUtil.cmake) for reusable build logic - Version-controlled changes with targeted commits and traceability
