LTIB is a packaging system used to build cross-compiled root filesystems (a la buildroot, sort of like that). what makes LTIB a bit different is that the entire build runs inside a "spoofed" environment, where normal executable names like "gcc" and "ld" and so on are aliased to their cross-compile counterparts. in other words, packages are built "normally", allegedly never realizing that their invocations of the compiler tools are actually being redirected to their cross-compiler equivalents.
most of the time, this works just fine, but it runs into problems if part of the build *needs* to invoke the native tools, and i think that's what's happening when you try to "make install" after the build.
Can you build bjam for the host system first?
this is, in fact, what i did -- "./configure", then stuck the resulting bjam in my personal bin directory, and used that for the subsequent cross-compile build. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
