Hi,
I was too frustrated maintaining boost builds with android in our company. I copied the necessary compilation parameters from bjam commands and ended up with the attached build files. I hope they will be useful to you. If you want to use them you should change the paths to cpp files on your own system. And run build.bat from command line.

They work with android-ndk-r13b we build boost 1.60 on Windows with these.

I took your advice and compared a real build that worked using CMake (using a simple test cpp file) and what I got from b2.

Here is the command line used to build the sample app using CMake.
Note that the compilation succeeded:

C:\android\ndk\toolchains\arm-linux-androideabi-4.9\prebuilt\windows-x86_64\bin\arm-linux-androideabi-g++.exe
--sysroot=C:/android/ndk/platforms/android-15/arch-arm

And here is the command line from b2:

"C:/android/ndk/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/windows-x86_64/bin/clang++"
-c -x c++ -O3 -Wno-inline -Wall
--sysroot=C:/android/ndk/platforms/android-15/arch-arm -isystem C:/android/ndk/sources/cxx-stl/llvm-libc++/include -isystem C:/android/ndk/sources/android/support/include -isystem C:/android/ndk/sources/cxx-stl/llvm-libc++abi/include -isystem C:/android/ndk/platforms/android-15/arch-arm/usr/include -std=c++14 -fno-strict-aliasing -D__GLIBC__ -DANDROID -D__ANDROID__ -D_GLIBCXX__PTHREADS -D__arm__ -D_REENTRANT -O2 -DNDEBUG -H

"libs\atomic\src\lockpool.cpp"

The build for boost still fails. Note I also passed the -H option, so I could see the include searches performed by clang as it was building boost. The output is long, but I've included it below. Can anyone help me identify why boost still won't build?
