Hi everyone,

Here is my question:  what do I have to do to cross-compile boost with
this compiler?  Right now, the libraries and files associated with
threading are the most important to me.

I am starting to work with boost at the behest of a coworker. My goal
is to get boost compiled for an embedded linux environment. My current
setup includes my desktop running Ubuntu which also hosts the
buildroot for the embedded linux environment. I have downloaded
boost_1_36_0.tar.bz2 and have extracted it to
/usr/local/boost_1_36_0/.  For the sake of simplicity, let's say that
the compiler for the embedded linux environment resides at
.../staging_dir/bin/arm-linux-gcc-4.1.1

Thanks in advance for your help.
Rich
