Actually what I am trying to do is to cross-compile BOOST source code to ARM machine. I have to run ./bootstrap.sh, and then b2. As far as I understand b2 executable runs on my Linux machine, but 'using gcc' in user-config.jam should point to my cross- compiler Thanks, ________________________________ From: Boost-users on behalf of Mateusz Loskot via Boost-users Sent: Tuesday, May 19, 2020 3:52 PM To: boost-users@lists.boost.org Cc: Mateusz Loskot Subject: Re: [Boost-users] boost build from source code On Tue, 19 May 2020 at 21:31, Leonid Meyerovich wrote:

You say Linux version of Boost, then I take it as binaries. If you download (some) binaries of Boost, and regardless of where they come from, you do not need to run ./bootstrap.sh which does re-build b2 executable. Use b2 from "Linux version of Boost" you downloaded.

Simply, bootstrap.sh does build the b2 executable, so it may not be what you expect or want.

You are right, I do have arm cross-compiler installed. But I though that 'b2' executable is a part of the package that I downloaded from BOOST site and this executable is built for x86 machine. Running 'bootstrap.sh' copy this file to boost_root folder, am I wrong?

Thank you for your explanation. BTW, I am editing user-config.jam, is it right way to edit project-build.jam? I have already embedded Linux install on my target, so I am not building the whole system. I may need to build an application (cross-compile) and move it to the target (maybe with some library, is it will be difficult to link statically) Thanks, Leonid ________________________________ From: Sergei Nikulov Sent: Wednesday, May 20, 2020 7:28 AM To: Leonid Meyerovich Cc: boost-users@lists.boost.org Subject: Re: [Boost-users] boost build from source code On Tue, May 19, 2020 at 11:02 PM Leonid Meyerovich wrote:

No. You've downloaded the source code package. So have following options 1. Build b2 for the host, then edit project-build.jam to build boost libs for the target. (for ex: https://www.cnx-software.com/2011/10/03/cross-compiling-boost-c-libraries-fo...) 2. Since you've used OE SDK (it's Yocto project I think), enable boost recipe in OE bitbake to build your SDK with boost libs. Then you'll be able to use it from SDK sysroot. The latter option is preferred and more natural for your embedded target unless you need a bleeding-edge boost version. -- Best Regards, Sergei Nikulov ________________________________ This message and all attachments are PRIVATE, and contain information that is PROPRIETARY to Intelligent Automation, Inc.

I see no problem with it. Ref to https://boostorg.github.io/build/manual/master/index.html#bbv2.overview.conf... to understand more about those files.

I have already embedded Linux install on my target, so I am not building the whole system.

It just a matter of handling dependencies. If it required for target, Boost libraries can be included in SDK. Another option - drop Boost and replace it with something more lightweight. If it's not possible, then go ahead with cross-compiling and static linking.

I may need to build an application (cross-compile) and move it to the target (maybe with some library, is it will be difficult to link statically)

Apparently my version arm-oe-linux-gnueabi-g++ (GCC) 4.9.2 doesn't contain cstddef.hpp header file (this version has been installed as a part of gnu radio)

I may try install a newer version (6.x.x), but I don't know where I can get it?

Any idea?

It's hard to advise something here without any detailed knowledge of your task/process/environment. I've never seen this problem before because I've never used toolchain from gnu radio. Sorry.
