Current Boost Version: 1.52.0.

For the most part, Boost requires almost no changes to work in BlackBerry 10 ("BB10"). All required code changes are pushed upstream whenever possible.

What isn't upstreamed is how to build it, as it is BB10 specific. That can be found here.

In particular, there is a blackberry-config.jam that helps build Boost for the device. There is also a simple bbbb script (bbbb.sh or bbbb.bat) to Build Boost for BlackBerry. Basically the script shows the required command bjam command line for building boost.

You must have the BB10 NDK setup in order to build Boost for BB10. It can be downloaded at http:://developer.blackberry.com. The BB10 NDK needs to be in your path for the boost build to work. (ie use the bbndk-env script to help with that.)

1. run bbndk-env (.bat or .sh) to set up the BB10 NDK environment variables.
2. run bootstrap (.bat or .sh) as you normally would to get Boost.Build set up.
3. (optional) build Boost for your host platform, to check that everything is set up correctly.
4. run bbbb (.bat or .sh) to build Boost for BlackBerry10.

Currently, it is not easy to run the tests to verify boost was built correctly. (This is because the tests need to run on device, not locally, and doing that is a bit tricky...)

Note this means much of the boost is untested on BB10 (although much of it is used internally by BlackBerry and tested by other means).

Boost.Context probably doesn't work on QNX/BB10. Boost.Python only works if you can find a version of python for QNX. (ie find a version of python for linux and you are close, but you will need to build it yourself for QNX.)
