I am trying to cross-compile Boost for Android, from a Dockcross container (i.e. it has the environment variables AS, AR, CC, CXX, LD set to the toolchain) by running the following commands:
$ ./bootstrap.sh
$ ./b2 architecture=arm address-model=32 binary-format=elf abi=aapcs target-os=android
My hope is that I don't need a user-config.jam, given that I pass everything to ./b2.
However, I am getting the errors looking like below:
"g++" -x assembler-with-cpp -O3 -finline-functions -Wno-inline -Wall -fvisibility=hidden -DBOOST_ALL_NO_LIB=1 -DBOOST_CONTEXT_SOURCE -DBOOST_DISABLE_ASSERTS -DNDEBUG -I"." -c -o "bin.v2/libs/context/build/gcc-10/release/abi-aapcs/address-model-32/architecture-arm/link-static/target-os-android/threading-multi/visibility-hidden/asm/jump_arm_aapcs_elf_gas.o" "libs/context/src/asm/jump_arm_aapcs_elf_gas.S"

What am I missing?
A jam file is required, like so (let's call it dockcross-config.jam):
import os ;
using clang : arm : [ os.environ CXX ] :
<cxxflags>"-fPIC"
<cflags>"-fPIC" ;
And then it can be passed to b2 with --user-config=:
$ ./b2 --user-config=dockcross-config.jam --without-python architecture=arm address-model=32 binary-format=elf abi=aapcs target-os=android
Also note --without-python, which I needed for Android.
