Boost build by CMake

Requirements:

• CMake >= 3.18
• Standard build tools needed for Boost build

CMD Line Arguments

Specified in CMakeLists.txt

Cross-compile

Activating cross-compile toolchain sets CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE, which then sets necessary CMAKE variables. Important variables for Boost build are:

• CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME: Target system name, if set, CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING is set to TRUE.
• CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR: Target system processor name.
• CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER: Target system CXX compiler.
• CMAKE_SYSROOT: Target system sysroot.

To configure compiler for b2 command, configuring creates a user-config.jam file, defining CXX compiler for arm processor.
