Cross compiling boost for Windows CE (ARM) from VS2005

[nobody]

I wondered if this would ever be a supported 
scenario. I have VS2005 Pro, and want to use Boost in 
a project on Windows Mobile 5, compiling for the ARM 
architecture. I can't find any documentation telling 
me how to do this, and from my attempts at getting it 
to cross compile I get the impression it isn't 
supported. For starters you get "Unknown CE compiler" 
in visualc.hpp. Thats easily fixed, but then getting 
bjam to install compiling for ARM doesn't seem to 
work.

Apologies if this is not a bug, but I'm pretty much 
at the point of having to ditch Boost, and thats a 
shame.

And by the way i would love to have some documentation on
how to compile boost lib for arm architecture

This sounds like the sort of problem you should bring up on the Boost Developers' list.

There will be some preliminary support for cross-compile in Boost.Build v2 (with the 1.34 release). But it will be essentially untested. If you would like to help in developing the ARM cross-compile support please join us at the Boost.Build developers list.
