What I would like to see is a step by step way of installing the quickbook toolset chain to compile the docs into html or pdf. I never got it to work on my machine. I have read the boost quickdoc documentation but it's not really straigh forward.
It seems like every time I update to work on docs, something has changed that breaks my previous setup.
Have you read https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/BoostDocs/GettingStarted?
setup_boostbook.py (in tools/boostbook) has worked for me. It downloads and sets up the various bits in the toolchain and updates your user-config.jam. I've had problems with it a couple of times but IIRC last time I tried it worked without a hitch. Cheers, Darren
