Could you give me an example with :boost instead of :cmake? Cause cmake is
working, for sure, but when I call package_common(:boost, options), I have
the following error:
ample.autobuild(package_set=rose):43: undefined method `boost' for
Autobuild:Module
  in /home/lesire/work/robotis/autoproj/remotes/rose/init.rb:25:in
`boost_package'
  in /home/lesire/work/robotis/autoproj/remotes/rose/ample.autobuild:43

And I don't know what to put instead...
