Attempting to use QuickBook to create both HTML and PDF documentation.

First of all, compiled just about everything I can compile in boost, including about all the tools, on Ubuntu.

To use quickbook you need to install a few more things. There's some instructions in the quickbook documentation:

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/doc/html/quickbook/install.html#quickbo...

I did follow that, and everything is installed, I built quickbook as root and 'installed' it into /usr/local/bin/, just as bjam and such is. On Fri, Aug 13, 2010 at 12:58 AM, Daniel James wrote:

And running bjam complains about not having found boost, which makes sense since boost was build as a different user so its building directory is inaccessible.

If you use a prebuilt quickbook (you need to specify the location in your user-config.jam), you'll only need read access to the boost repository. If you set $BOOST_ROOT to its location, you should be okay. This is just to access boost build, the xsl stylesheets and dtd files.

Is there any way to remove the dependency on bjam?
