You can cross-compile Boost using the following steps:

  1. Bootstrap the build system:

    ./bootstrap.sh

  2. Modify the configuration file (project-config.jam) to use the ARM toolchain by replacing the line with using gcc with:

    using gcc : arm : arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++ ;

  3. Build and install the library:

    ./bjam install toolset=gcc-arm --prefix=/usr/local/boost

Note: the toolchain must be in $PATH
