Hi,

thank you so much Dmitry and René. Is it preferable to continue the discussion in slack rather than here (took me so long to get access to slack but I'm now ready :=))?

Would be great if we continue in Slack. Much easier to ask you for file contents, and try things out. :-)

I tried to add <triple>arm64-apple-darwin21.4 to my user-config.jam but I still cannot build has_external_iconv as the flag is not taken into account by boost.locale.

It may be that it's not something in the bundled b2 of the particular Boost release you are using. -- -- René Ferdinand Rivera Morell -- Don't Assume Anything -- No Supongas Nada -- Robot Dreams - http://robot-dreams.net
