Hi,

How do you set the target-os ?

I'm cross-compiling on linux, for the windows platform.

I wrote this in the user-config.jam file:

using gcc : : /home/paul/mingw/bin/mingw32-g++ : <target-os>windows
<os>windows ;

and i ran jam like so:
./tools/jam/src/bin.linuxx86/bjam --user-config=user-config.jam
--toolset=gcc --debug-building --target-os=windows

but i still see:

 Common properties:  SNIP  <host-os>linux  <os>LINUX  <target-os>linux
<threadapi>pthread <toolset-gcc:flavor>mingw <toolset-gcc:version>3.4.5

How do I set those settings ?  Argh...

thanks
Paul
