Crossbuild, on linux using mingw32 for win32
What is the best way to crossbuild on linux, using mingw32, to win32? I dont see no description about such configuration on http://boost.org/more/getting_started.html mingw executable is: i586-mingw32msvc-g++

mingw executable is: i586-mingw32msvc-g++
If you follow the links to the description of the gcc (or mingw) toolset you'll see that the environment variable GXX can be set to the name of the executable to use, you'll need to set that in addition to the usual mingw setup options described in http://www.boost.org/tools/build/v1/mingw-tools.html John.

When building on normal windows + mingw then it worked simmilar to this point now the error:

So perhaps the objcopy utility used is wrong? raf256@lore:~$ /usr/bin/objcopy -V GNU objcopy 2.16.91 20060118 Debian GNU/Linux Copyright 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc. This program is free software; you may redistribute it under the terms of the GNU General Public License. This program has absolutely no warranty. I dont have no objcopy in mingw, only objdump raf256@lore:~$ /usr/i586-mingw32msvc/bin/objdump -V GNU objdump 2.16.91 20050827 Copyright 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc. This program is free software; you may redistribute it under the terms of the GNU General Public License. This program has absolutely no warranty. perhaps missing objcopy is causing mingw-running-on-linux to fail? Can that be fixed in bjam, like by using other tool or telling linux objcopy how to work with crossbuilded objects? The cmd line that worked fine on win32 was: setting path to: D:\WINDOWS\system32;D:\WINDOWS;D:\WINDOWS\system32\WBEM; C:\bjam;C:\mingw;c:\mingw\bin; (in one line) or simmilar, then: C:\boost_1_33_1>bjam -sTOOLS="mingw" -sMINGW_ROOT_DIRECTORY="c:/mingw" install
