Cross-compiling Boost for ARM

Question

I'd like to cross-compile Boost for ARM. Here is some documentation.

Where can I find the file user-config.jam? I don't see it anywhere. Is it something I have to create in the boost root directory?

Answer 1

As the documentation says, this file must be in one of these paths (on Linux) : $HOME or $BOOST_BUILD_PATH . If not, you seem to have to create it.

If it doesn't find user-config.jam , site-config.jam is used.

You can use the --debug-configuration option to find which configuration files are actually loaded.

Answer 2

Inside the boost source code folder, just run the command:

find . -name user-config.jam    

It seems to be

./tools/build/v2/user-config.jam
