[1.40] Beta build of PDF docs available.

A beta build of the docs for Boost-1.40 in PDF format is available from https://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost-docs/1.40.0/boost_pdf_1_4... If folks can check their library's PDF docs for the usual SNAFU's that would be much appreciated (note only if your Boost library contains quickbook/boostbook/docbook format docs). Enjoy, John.

A quick update: the date_time, tribool and signals2 docs all have missing <xi:include>'s, any ideas anyone? Thanks, John.

I tried building the date_time pdf on OS X and didn't have a problem so it's probably something to do with windows paths, or bjam's generated paths (Visual C++ generates a different path depth - try using 'bjam gcc' if it's set up?). I've uploaded it to: http://boost.cowic.de/rc/pdf-1.40/ I'll try the others tomorrow. Daniel

The problem appears to be that doxygen is never invoked to generate the XML files. This applies even if I invoke those targets directly, for example: $ bjam gcc-mw4 -a date_time_autodoc -d2 Simply prints: ...found 1 target... And does nothing :-( John.

FYI I see the same same problem when building on Ubuntu Linix: the Doxygen rule never gets invoked for those two libraries (date_time and logic), where as everything is fine for the other libraries using doxygen. Are you sure you don't have old versions of the doxygen-produced XML files lying around on the hard drive? Confused, John.

Try: $ bjam date_time_autodoc.xml But I think you're right, I had these files for tribool and date_time because they're generated when building the combined documentation, and they're not under bin.v2 so I hadn't deleted them. I've added dependencies to the standalone documentation targets in these libraries' jamfiles. Can you try in trunk? This is probably a bug in boost build as it normally builds all the targets in a jamfile, and you don't normally pass the name of the file as a target. Daniel

The zip has now been updated: tribool, date_time and signals2 should now be complete, accumulators nor has formulae, and fusion docs have been added. Download is from: https://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost-docs/1.40.0/boost_pdf_1_4... as before. Regards, John.

Thank you so much, John. B/Rgds Max

Is the fact that some libraries are missing intentional? For instance I see no fusion documentation, even though it is in quickbook format. Other than that, it is great to have up-to-date pdf version of boost documentation. Building pdfs from quickbook/boostbook/docbook is an esoteric art that requires an arcane toolchain of not always robust components. I hope that boost developers having the appropriate tools configured can produce the pdf files automatically and thus those can be added to each release from now on. Thanks a lot for the effort.

Only intentional if the docs for those libs is not in quickbook/boostbook/docbook format. I'll look into adding fusion, let me know if you spot any others. Thanks, John.

Ooops, I know what the issue is there, I was messing around with the Jamfile trying to fix it, but apparently it didn't work :-( John.
