This is the main problem with the tool. We need to get Rene's installer, or something similar, online, to make it easier for people to use quick/boostbook. Installation is the number one PITA. If we make it effortless to install, we'll have more people using it, for sure.
setup_boostbook.sh does a good job on *nix systems, and I presume that
Yep, no problem on *nix.
setup_boostbook.py does a good job on Windows systems...
Not sure. I didn't even know it exists. It's certainly not in the docs (http://boost.org/doc/html/boostbook/getting/started.html). The docs has tools/boostbook/setup_boostbook.sh (under Automatic setup for Unix-like systems). I did it manually when I started and it was a pain. Also, IMO, a "nearly-automatic setup script" (as doc'd) will not beat a one-shot installer like the one Rene (Rivera) wrote. IIRC it even had quickbook prebuilt so you don't even have to do that step. Regards, -- Joel de Guzman http://www.boost-consulting.com http://spirit.sf.net
