Hi,

I tried to build boost for iPhone on Mac OS X. If I try the  
following ...

bjam --prefix=/somePath toolset=darwin target-os=iphone macosx- 
version=iphone-2.0 define=_LITTLE_ENDIAN link=static install

... the libraries will build fine, but they are i386 code, not arm, so  
there're unusable.
But if I add architecture=arm ...

bjam --prefix=/somePath toolset=darwin architecture=arm target- 
os=iphone macosx-version=iphone-2.0 define=_LITTLE_ENDIAN link=static  
install

... the whole thing just does not build. It fails very early with the  
following error:

g++-4.0: installation problem, cannot exec '/usr/bin/arm-apple-darwin9- 
g++-4.0.1': No such file or directory

Any ideas/hints how to build the boost libraries for the iPhone?
(By the way, /usr/bin/arm-apple-darwin9-g++-4.0.1 is existing on my  
Mac.)

Thanks in advance,
Mani
