I tried today already and can confirm it works smoothly. Just change your compiler with the crosscompiler and everything worked for me. I was able to compile the bayes++ library incl. the examples, which relies on the boost library itself. I'm using a gumstix by the way (ARM processor).

Hi everyone, I'm new to boost and have successfully installed it on my debian sarge system. For a particle Filter using the Bayes++ Library, I would need to crosscompile the boost library for an ARM processor. Does anyone know whether that is possible? (I already have a crosscompiler installed, but don't know whether boost supports crosscompilation?)
Nobody knows, I think, so your best approach is just to try. Boost does not use any configure magic, just defines set by compiler to configure things, so using a different compiler should make things work automatically.
There might be some cases where Boost.Build uses host tools ('ar', 'objcopy', whatever), which might cause problems with cross-compilation. But until somebody tries, we don't know if there are problems or not.
And you better use Boost.Build V2 ;-)
