Hi,

 

I'm looking to build Boost with a compiler not currently supported, but
I'm struggling to find information on where I should really begin. It
seems that I'll need to create my own toolset module (something like
..../boost_1_39_0/tools/build/v2/tools/blackfin.jam) with the
toolchain's specific build switches etc, rebuild bjam then build Boost.
I presume that boost also has some libraries which may need some
specific options, or tweaking to work but am I getting the gist of it
correctly? Should I be expecting major configuration headaches
(toolchain-specific build\runtime issues aside) in adding a new
architecture?

 

Thanks,

- Sean
