C++ cmake & boost & arm cross compilation

Question

I have a problem with compiling my program with boost and cmake. I use cross-compilation with using gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.9/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++ compiler. And now I have cmake file like:

cmake_minimum_required (VERSION 2.6.2)
project (xxx)

SET(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER /home/kamil/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.9/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++)
SET(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -std=c++11 -pthread -Dtypeof=__typeof__ -D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0 -Wall -Werror -Wextra -Wno-error=array-bounds")

if(DEFINED ENV{SDKTARGETSYSROOT})
    set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH $ENV{SDKTARGETSYSROOT})
    set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_LIBRARY ONLY)
    set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_INCLUDE ONLY)
    set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_PROGRAM NEVER)
endif(DEFINED ENV{SDKTARGETSYSROOT})

find_package(Boost COMPONENTS system filesystem REQUIRED)

include_directories("/usr/local/include")
include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})

enable_testing()
set(CMAKE_CTEST_COMMAND ctest -V)
add_custom_target(check COMMAND ${CMAKE_CTEST_COMMAND} )

add_subdirectory(src)
add_subdirectory(test EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL)

and

add_executable(xxxx
    main.cpp
    ...cpp
    ...cpp
    ...cpp
    ...cpp
)

target_link_libraries(xxxx
    ${Boost_SYSTEM_LIBRARY}
    ${Boost_THREAD_LIBRARY}
)

install(TARGETS xxxx
    DESTINATION bin
    PERMISSIONS OWNER_READ OWNER_WRITE OWNER_EXECUTE GROUP_READ GROUP_EXECUTE
    WORLD_READ WORLD_EXECUTE
)

And now when use commands in linux(Ubuntu):

• cmake ..
• make

I have response at:

When I comment on the following line in cmake:

SET(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER /home/kamil/toradex/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.9/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++)

then everything is ok.

I install boost in Ubuntu with command: sudo apt-get install libboost1.55-all-dev

What is wrong with compiling with linux-gnueabihf-g++ and how to fix it.

Answer 1

Compiling boost with gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.9 worked. Helps link: http://www.cnx-software.com/2011/10/03/cross-compiling-boost-c-libraries-for-arm/
