An update…

I found the link that tells me how to build Bjam, but I run into a problem on the last part of the script:

if test -x "./bootstrap/jam0" ; then

if test "${BJAM_UPDATE}" != "update" ; then

echo "bjam update = update"

# echo_run ./bootstrap/jam0 -f build.jam --toolset=$BOOST_JAM_TOOLSET "--toolset-root=$BOOST_JAM_TOOLSET_ROOT" clean

echo_run ./bootstrap/jam0 -f build.jam --toolset=tile "--toolset-root=$BOOST_JAM_TOOLSET_ROOT" clean

echo "no update, just build"

# echo_run ./bootstrap/jam0 -f build.jam --toolset=$BOOST_JAM_TOOLSET "--toolset-root=$BOOST_JAM_TOOLSET_ROOT" "$@"

echo_run ./bootstrap/jam0 -f build.jam --toolset=tile "--toolset-root=$BOOST_JAM_TOOLSET_ROOT" "$@"

Because I have cross-compiled, I am not able to execute build.jam on the host. However when I try to execute on the target, the compiler is only on the host and the toolset I defined is not recognized! Yes, I copied the entire src directory into the target.

Subject: Cross compiling

Hello,

I am trying to cross compile boost for an embedded processor that has its own gcc and g++ compiler. What are the options I need to invoke so that the make uses these compilers instead of gcc? Also, can you tell me the simpliest way to test it?

Thanks,

Esteban
