[generally, boost.build questions are better asked a boost-build@lists.boost.org mailing list]
Ok thanks for that. I guessed as my problem is with building boost with boost-build, not with the boost-build project itself, that it would be better here. If this is still off-topic and likely to annoy then please let me know and I'll take it there.
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.
Thanks - that was the problem. The documentation mentions user-config.jam, and there was one in my boost_1_34_1 folder so I assumed that was the one to use. It's a bit confusing having several around. I've found the one it was using and modified that instead.
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.
Done. It's using the correct toolchain now, however won't compile. At the offset it passes an invalid option to `ld`, even if I let it run after that I get a horrendous number of compiler errors and lots of failure lines. I currently get this output: <<<<<<<<<< $ ./bjam.exe -q --with-iostreams --with-regex --with-test --with-thread stage Building Boost.Regex with the optional Unicode/ICU support disabled.

Are you able to help me with that? I'm hoping that this is the cause of the errors after it too, otherwise there's likely something horrible going on! Thanks, --rob
