Hi, I cross compile to an Arm platform with the following... bjam "-sGCC_ROOT_DIRECTORY=/opt/montavista/mobilinux/devkit/arm/iwmmxt_le" "-sGCC=iwmmxt_le-gcc" "-sGXX=iwmmxt_le-g++" stage This builds the libs to a stage folder, rather than installing them. You can then copy to the target from there. I used to get a hat load of compile faults, but it turned out to be a fault with the Montavista GCC compiler - fixed now. James

Dear boost-community,

has anyone experience in cross-compiling boost? I tried to build the whole thing using eldk ppc_6xx-gcc for linux @ power pc, doing the build process on linux @ x86. It generated object code for x86 whatever I did. Thought about writing a toolset but I don't understand a single bit of what happens in gcc-tools.jam :-(

In effect I'd need the possibility to add a prefix for the gcc-tools, because all the gcc, g++, ld etc. are named ppc_6xx-gcc, ppc_6xx-g++, ppc_6xx-ld instead. And I'd want to specify PPC as the target platform while building on a different (x86) platform.

Hoping that someone has an idea. Yours, Christian Pfligersdorffer _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users
