I have two locally built g++'s and want to build boosts to go with them.
Unfortunately I've never used jam and despite reading the docs haven't succeeded.
Mark -- Here's my incantation; hope you might find it useful. gcc_ver=4.6.2 boost_ver=1_48_0 gcc_pkg="gcc-$gcc_ver" boost_pkg="boost_$boost_ver" gcc_dest=/usr/local/$gcc_pkg boost_dest=/usr/local/$boost_pkg+$gcc_pkg # ======================================== # build gcc cd ~/Source rm -rf $gcc_pkg* tar xf /opt/cross/downloads/$gcc_pkg.tar.bz2 mkdir $gcc_pkg-build cd $gcc_pkg-build ../$gcc_pkg/configure \ --prefix=$gcc_dest \ --with-local-prefix=$gcc_dest/local \ --enable-languages=c,c++ \ --enable-threads \ --disable-multilib make -j 8 sudo mkdir $gcc_dest sudo chown tony.tony $gcc_dest make install ( cd /usr/local ; sudo rm gcc ; sudo ln -s $gcc_pkg gcc ) # ======================================== # build boost cd ~/Source rm -rf $boost_pkg* tar xf /opt/cross/downloads/$boost_pkg.tar.bz2 cd $boost_pkg export PATH=/usr/local/$gcc_pkg/bin:$PATH unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH sudo mkdir $boost_dest sudo chown tony.tony $boost_dest ./bootstrap.sh --prefix=$boost_dest ./bjam \ --prefix=$boost_dest \ --debug-configuration \ --without-graph \ --without-graph_parallel \ --without-math \ --without-mpi \ --without-python \ --without-serialization \ --without-wave \ -j8 \ link=shared \ threading=multi \ runtime-link=shared \ toolset=gcc cxxflags=-std=gnu++0x \ install ( cd /usr/local ; sudo rm boost ; sudo ln -s $boost_pkg+$gcc_pkg boost )
