Re: [Boost-users] How to build 32-bit Boost libraries on a 64-bit Linux machine using bjam?

Hi Folks,

I am using Boost.Serialization and Boost.Thread in my project. Because
current Boost release had problems with GCC 4.3, I had to build my own Boost
libraries from a svn checkout. Fortunately, with the help from "Getting
Started Guide", I accomplished the mission with ease. The commands I used
are:
bjam --build-dir=/tmp/build-boost --toolset=gcc --build-type="release
<threading>multi <link>static <runtime-link>static" stage
bjam --build-dir=/tmp/build-boost --toolset=gcc --build-type="release
<threading>multi <link>static <runtime-link>static"
--prefix=/software/boost-20080710 install

The above produced 64-bit libraries. My question is, how I can build 32-bit
Boost libraries on the same machine?  Does it take command line variables,
such as CXXFLAGS=-m32?

Thanks.
