Hi,
   I am trying to cross compile Boost library (Thread, System) for PowerPC
architecture. I followed the steps mentioned in a previous post but facing
problems.

I run a shell script which sets up my toolchain. The compiler ppc_4xx-g++ is
visible at the shell.

Steps followed:
1. Add the line "using gcc : power : ppc_4xx-g++ ;" to the file
user-config.jam
2. Run ./bootstrap.sh --prefix=BoostPowerPC in root directory.
3. Run ./b2 install --build-dir=BoostPowerPC toolset=gcc-power --with-thread
--with-system stage

Result: All the directories gets created but compilation fails. I can't
attach the error log (Please send me your email so that I can send you the
error log if you need). Below is the snapshot of the error log.

Its complaining that the file c++config.h is not found. But the file is
present in the location
/opt/ELDK/4.2/usr/include/c++/4.2.2/powerpc-linux/bits directory

Then I tried to use the tag "include" in the b2 command. But then I get a
error that the file cstddef is not found which is present in the directory
/opt/ELDK/4.2/usr/include/c++/4.2.2. I think I am over writing the include
path.

What do you think is the problem ? Why can't my compiler find the file even
if its present ? Help please.
