I am trying to look into this (for thread).
However the doc build process does look to me like black magic. Also I could not find anywhere the rationale why building the docs does overwrite files that are under source control.
I am trying to compile the doc from BOOST_ROOT/doc. Is this the wrong place?
Nope, that's where I built from.
Then the process generates files under bin.v2, which is what I expected. But surprisingly also files under:
doc/xml doc/html and under libs/
are generated. Even uglier: some files which are under source control are overwritten!
Yep, we have "placeholders" that redirect to the nightly doc build, but when the release is put together these get overwritten with the "true" versions.
Nevertheless the docs were built, and I logged everything. Nowhere I could find the "Citation to nonexistent publication abbrev:".
How did you get this?
Just as you did: built from /doc under win32 on the release branch. I've just done another cvs update so I'll try again. John.
