How about this? Worked for the best-selling book in the galaxy ;)
I like it. Always good to start an adventure with a smile ;-)
It's really not about command line versus GUI. It's just that default installation _should_ be one-button (or one batch command) operation.
Instead, a simple requirement "install the quickbook" forses a person to:
1) check out Boost CVS; 2) build bjam; 3) figure out the difference between Boost.Build v1 and v2; 4) download and configire Boost.Build v2; 5) figure out how to build the quickbook (any info about this in the docs?) 6) download xslt processor from cygwin; 7) build the Boost.Book 8) Do whatever else (I am not even close to this right now).
Sorry if I am somwhat off topic. Just waisting my day off, and being frustrated RIGHT NOW.
