[units] Problem building HTML documentation from QuickBook sources

Hello,
I'm very interested in the Boost.Units library. I've been therefore
trying to use the version, which is available from the Boost Sandbox SVN
repository (Revision 41778):
svn co http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/units boost_units
I've no problems using the header-only Boost.Units library in my own
small test programs, but I'm struggling to build the reference
documentation located in libs/units/doc/. Therefore, I'm currently
forced to use the outdated HTML documentation from the
mcs_units_v0.7.2.zip archive available from the Boost file vault or read
directly the units.qbk source.
I'm using Boost.Units together with boost-1.34.1, which is unpacked in a
parallel directory:
$ ls
boost-1.34.1
boost_units
on my laptop running Debian Etch:
$ uname -a
Linux babylon5 2.6.18-5-686 #1 SMP Wed Oct 3 00:12:50 UTC 2007 i686
GNU/Linux
$ g++ --version
g++ (GCC) 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21)
After defining the environment variable:
BOOST_BUILD_PATH=

It's a command line quoting problem that's fixed by the following BBv2 patch: Index: tools/build/v2/tools/doxygen.jam =================================================================== --- tools/build/v2/tools/doxygen.jam (revision 41793) +++ tools/build/v2/tools/doxygen.jam (working copy) @@ -299,7 +299,7 @@ } for local title in [ feature.get-values <reftitle> : $(properties) ] { - xslt-properties += "xsl:paramboost.doxygen.reftitle=\"$(title)\"" ; + xslt-properties += "xsl:paramboost.doxygen.reftitle=$(title)" ; } xsltproc.xslt $(target) : $(source) $(d2b-xsl) : $(xslt-properties) ; HTH, John.

HTH, John.
Thank you very much John! This small patch solved the problem and now I'm able to build the HTML and PDF documentation for Boost.Units myself. I hope this patch finds its way into the Boost SVN repository soon. Best regards, Torsten
