I need to compile Boost for an embedded target running GNU/Linux on an ARM CPU. The toolchain for this is proprietary, compiler executable names are like "arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++".
I'm having trouble compiling with this toolchain though - I can't figure out (even with the documentation) what I'm doing wrong, but AFAICT Boost.Build keeps using my default gcc toolchain. In case it's relevant I'm on Cygwin using a self-compiled bjam executable, Boost is v1.34.1
My user-config.jam looks like this: <<<<<<<<<< # Compiler configuration # using gcc ; using gcc : : arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc ; using g++ : : arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++ ;
[generally, boost.build questions are better asked a boost-build@lists.boost.org mailing list] Are you 100% sure you've placed user-config.jam in a location that Boost.Build looks in? You can use --debug-configuration option to print the location of user-config.jam that is actually loaded. Also, the above is not fully correct, per documentation you should have: using gcc : : arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++ ; If you use: using g++ : ....... you should see an error, and if you don't see it it really means some other user-config.jam is loaded. - Volodya -- Vladimir Prus CodeSourcery
