This is not a direct answer to your question. I write C++ code on an x86 PC and cross-compile to an ARM system, but I have avoided cross-compiling Boost itself. I run Debian on both the x86 system and the ARM system (an NSLU2), and I have installed the Debian ARM Boost libraries on the x86 system using dpkg-cross and apt-cross. This is method works very smoothly for me. Of course, it only works if the libraries that you need are in Debian, but most are. Also note that many Boost libraries are header-only, so no cross-compilation is needed. Hopefully someone else will reply with a more direct answer for you. But I strongly suggest that you provide more information about your problem than "But no results". If you post exactly what you did, and exactly what happened in response, there is more chance that someone will spot the problem. Regards, Phil.

I'm not sure if this is the official way to do it (if there is actually one), but it is how I got it to work:
./configure --prefix=../../boost-1.34.0 --without-libraries=python,iostreams,test
Configure will create a 'user-config.jam' file. Edit it to add your compiler. Here's mine: > cat user-config.jam # Boost.Build Configuration # Automatically generated by Boost configure # Compiler configuration using gcc : : arm-linux-g++ ; Then just run 'bjam' and check back the next day ;) Hope this helps, Geurt

I used openembedded to do cross-builds for arm-linux. (including boost) It is worth checking out. http://www.openembedded.org/filebrowser/org.openembedded.dev/packages/boost Eddy
