Re: [Boost-users] building boost with unsupported compiler

Then, you really need a new toolset module. However, I suggest basing it on something simple, for example acc.jam. The gcc support is one of the most complex in Boost.Build, in part because gcc works both on Linux and Windows.

Yeah, I suspected as much. I did get rather scared after seeing the size of the msvc and gcc modules - using acc.jam is a good idea.

You just have to drop a new module into tools directory, and then configure it in user-config.jam, e.g.:

using your_compiler : 1.0 : /usr/local/bin/yourcompiler ;

and then build with

bjam toolset=your_compiler

Good to hear! Thanks for clarifying everything, Vladimir. - Sean
