Hi,

I hope this isn't off topic. I'm trying to cross compile boost for an 
arm embedded linux project. I'm using code sourcery's lite edition. 
Below is some information about how I'm trying to run bjam. I'm using 
the boost_1_45_0 download.

this is my user-config.jam :

using gcc : 4.5.1 : 
/home/dave/bin/sourcery/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++ ;

this is my command line:

./bjam --toolset=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++  
--prefix=/home/dave/workspace/urbi_arm_source/boost_1_45_0/_build 
--debug-configuration install

I get an error like this:

...snip...
notice: [cmdline-cfg] Detected command-line request for 
arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++: toolset= arm version= none-linux-gnueabi-g++
notice: [cmdline-cfg] toolset arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++ not previously

in boost-build
/home/dave/workspace/urbi_arm_source/boost_1_45_0/boost-build.jam:17: in

...end snip...

So, my question is, where or how do I get an 'arm.jam' file for 
compilling boost. Does one exist somewhere and/or how do I get around 
having one if one doesn't exist? Is this my problem? Thanks.
