I am trying to build the Boost 1.31.0 libraries on an AMD Opteron platform using PathScale C++ 1.2. There is no toolset for this compiler, which looks something like a MipsPro compiler and something like a g++ compiler. Has anyone created a toolset for it? If not, how do I build a new toolset, or is there an easier way to build and install the libraries?
No help for me? How do you Boost experts develop a toolset for a new compiler?
Use tools/build/v1/gcc-tools.jam as a working example and tools/build/v1/gcc-tools.html to understand it. Don't write lines like: flags gcc GCC_BIN_DIRECTORY : $(GCC_BIN_DIRECTORY) ; flags gcc GCC_INCLUDE_DIRECTORY : $(GCC_INCLUDE_DIRECTORY) ; flags gcc GCC_STDLIB_DIRECTORY : $(GCC_STDLIB_DIRECTORY) ; These are a mistake (they prevent customization of multiple versions of the toolset), but they keep creeping back into toolset files for some reason, even though I keep taking them out. See http://www.boost.org/tools/build/v1/build_system.htm#toolset_description for other help. We know the docs are not great, but we're going to retire this version of the build system ASAP so a big investment in docs is unwarranted.
