How to build boost library's document
Hi, I download the boost source code from the CVS repository, and build it with bjam. Only found that there is no document builded in the libs directory. How to build boost library's document?

1) First you need to setup the required toolsets. Read in boost/more about this. 2) From boost_root/doc you invoke bjam. But wait, I am afraid currently this does not work for HEAD revision. You are better off starting with the RC_1_34_0 branch, since currently this one is the most up to date. 3) If you are a new to boost however I recommend starting with the RC_1_33 branch of the latest stable release, since the documentation for this branch is available from the web.

Thank you Roland. I have install the 1.33 version, but I find some of the libraries such as asio didn't contain in the library. So I need the HEAD version of the boost, but disappointly found the library isn't ready enough for the document building . I think I should wait for some time.

Actually, you can get asio from asio.sourceforge.net. asio was already a SourceForge project prior to submitting and being accepted into Boost. There is little difference between the one in the Boost CVS and the one available from the asio main site (in fact, I don't know of any :P), and in fact, the asio site also includes both Boost-ified documentation and its regular good ole' asio documentation. Just my two cents, hope it helps. Benjamin Lau
