Hello all,

simple question: How do I specify the compiler that will be used to compile boost directly? I would like to provide the whole path.

Typically, you pass name of recognised/known toolset via command line https://github.com/boostorg/boost/blob/master/bootstrap.sh#L154

But, I doubt/don't know you can pass full path. Instead, you can try to specify the special `cc` toolset and point to your compiler via the CC environment variable:

https://github.com/boostorg/build/blob/develop/src/engine/build.sh#L37-L40

Best regards,

Hello,

the second solution seems to be the correct one. Although I get error messages that tell me paths are missing. Guess I will have to provide some more env vars then. I'll figure those out, thank you very much for the help!

Hi, I cannot get it working. My boostrap.log log shows me stuff like this builtins.c:58:11: fatal error: sys/wait.h: No such file or directory # include ^~~~~~~~~~~~ compilation terminated. My bootstrap line is: env CC=/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc ./bootstrap.sh --without-libraries=python --prefix=[...] --with-toolset=cc target-os=windows architecture=x86 address-model=64 I tried to specify the include path with CPATH=/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/include CXX=/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ (which does contain the correct sys/wait.h) but that did not work as well.
