And why do you want to cross-compile boost-build? For boost you'll have to use the hosts boost-build to build boost for the target. This bug should be closed as INVALID. BJam is a host tool and should be built as such. In the future: remember to use your site-config.jam or user-config.jam to set up your cross compiler as per the Boost.Build documentation. This bug has not been touched in almost three years and 1.34 is not even in the tree any more... maybe it can be closed? With current state of portage dependency algorithms it's nearly impossible to handle this in a sane way. Suggested workaround: emerge -1 boost-build Then you can safely start cross-compilation |
