Help building one module with cross-compiler
Hi, I am trying to build boost module "log" on a raspberry PI as a dependency to another project. The RPI runs out of virtual memory during the build process, although I do limit building to just log (I think it builds some dependencies though). So I decided to cross compile it on a x86 machine with plenty of resources. I followed the instructions and built using: BUILD_CXXFLAGS="-std=gnu++11 -pthread" BUILD_CXX=arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc ./bootstrap.sh --with-libraries=log --with-toolset=cross-cxx The build fails with the bootstrap.log showing the content below. Your advice is appreciated. thank you ubuntu@ryu:~/arm-toolkit/boost_1_71_0$ cat bootstrap.log######### Using 'cross-cxx' toolset.######arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc --versionarm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc (crosstool-NG linaro-1.13.1+bzr2650 - Linaro GCC 2014.03) 4.8.3 20140303 (prerelease)Copyright (C) 2013 Free Software Foundation, Inc.This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.

Thank you, but that caused the compiler to complain about an unknown option. However, it succeeds if I replace BUILD_CXX=arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc with BUILD_CXX=arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++. Now I realize I don't understand the building process of boost. The result of running bootstrap.sh is some jam config files and an executable called b2, not the actual boost libraries.The resulting b2, unsurprisingly, is an ARM executable for the target platform, and can't run on the intel machine, which defeats my purpose of cross compiling in the first place (since it was b2 that caused the out of memory condition on the ARM). So I ran bootstrap.sh _without_ the cross compiler settings and got a b2 for intel x86-64. Now I have to make b2 use the ARM toolchain (or it will build for Intel). However I can't figure out what and how to pass the cross compiler settings to b2, because it seems to expect them in a different way than bootstrap.sh did.Running ./b2 --help only offers this hint about cross compiling: Properties: toolset=toolset Indicate the toolset to build with. I tried passing toolset=arm-linux-gnueabihf but that caused an error too: arm.jam: No such file or directory/home/ubuntu/arm-toolkit/boost_1_71_0/tools/build/src/build/toolset.jam:44: in toolset.usingERROR: rule "arm.init" unknown in module "toolset". Does anyone know how to tell b2 to use a specific toolchain? Or what I'm doing wrong.

Hi, on the Boost Support page is a short description about a cross compiling process: https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_64_0/doc/html/bbv2/tasks.html I didn't found it actually for the current version,but that doesn't matter. On these pages are some additional informations: 1) https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29029867/cross-compile-boost-1-57-0-on-u... 2) https://github.com/Yadoms/yadoms/wiki/Cross-compile-for-raspberry-PI It seems that you are on the right way, you have to create a file "user-config.jam" inside $HOME (Windows: |%HOME%|) and put following line inside: using gcc : arm : arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++ ; (or) [using gcc : arm : arm-linux-gnueabi-g++ ;(if it doesnt work )] then |./b2 --with-log toolset=gcc-arm link=static cxxflags=-fPIC (according to 2)| I hope that is more helpfull.
