Hi everyone,
Here is my question: what do I have to do to cross-compile boost with this compiler? Right now, the libraries and files associated with threading are the most important to me.
I am starting to work with boost at the behest of a coworker. My goal is to get boost compiled for an embedded linux environment. My current setup includes my desktop running Ubuntu which also hosts the buildroot for the embedded linux environment. I have downloaded boost_1_36_0.tar.bz2 and have extracted it to /usr/local/boost_1_36_0/.
Putting sources you are about to just build into /usr/local does not seem like a good idea.
For the sake of simplicity, let's say that the compiler for the embedded linux environment resides at .../staging_dir/bin/arm-linux-gcc-4.1.1
Add: using gcc : arm : .../staging_dir/bin/arm-linux-g++-4.1.1 ; to user-config.jam. Run: bjam toolset=gcc-arm - Volodya
