how to build the quickbook?
Hi all, I just checked out the Boost CVS repository, and want to build the quickbook. However I can't find Jamfile there -- there is only Jamfile.v2. How should I build it? Thanks in advance, Arkadiy

Hi Arkadiy, Well, I think this is more of a BJam V2 question. I'm not an expert on it, but here's what I do: * I build the latest Jam executable from the source. With Windows and VC7.1, this is easy. There's a build.bat in the BOOST_ROOT/tools/build/jam_src directory. * I edit BOOST_ROOT/tools/build/v2/user-config.jam to reflect my environment. * With everything setup, I issue: bjam --v2 (the bjam v2 docs are found at http://www.boost.org/tools/build/v2/) HTH. Tell me if you need more help. Cheers, -- Joel de Guzman http://www.boost-consulting.com http://spirit.sf.net

Thanks Joel, Actually I got a great setup from Rene, and just installed the quickbook executable. I had no problem in generating the XML with it. My current problems are related to the Boost.Book -- I can't actually figure out how to use it. Regards, Arkadiy
