I don’t see where annotation.xsl comes from, or what is should contain (but it looks as though it contains something wrong!!).

Can you share it with us? And any metadata?

The file comes from the boostbook repo: https://github.com/boostorg/boostbook/blob/develop/xsl/annotation.xsl I applied no modifications.

None of this looks familiar to me from generating Quickbook docs ☹

PS I also view items reported as cached with suspicion, as a result of being bitten before.

Especially when there are two difference versions.

Thanks for the idea. I'll try it later, in the evening. Regards, &rzej;

Thanks. That would be the most likely cause of my problems. Could you point me to instructions for rebuilding the b2 engine executable?

https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_79_0/more/getting_started/windows.html#get-...

Section 5.1 Simplified Build From Source

If you wish to build from source with Visual C++, you can use a simple build procedure described in this section. Open the command prompt and change your current directory to the Boost root directory. Then, type the following commands:

bootstrap .\b2 The first command prepares the Boost.Build system for use. The second command invokes Boost.Build to build the separately-compiled Boost libraries. Please consult the Boost.Build documentation for a list of allowed options.

https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_79_0/tools/build/doc/html/index.html

https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_79_0/tools/build/doc/html/index.html#bbv2.i...

Run either .\bootstrap.bat (on Windows), or ./bootstrap.sh (on other operating systems)

(which may be too simple. By default, Windows 10 and up, probably don't provide cmd.exe, preferring the fancy new command shell Windows PowerShell)

b2 -v will show the current version.

You will probably want to ensure that b2.exe is visible globally, perhaps by adding to PATH. Perhaps using the Windows Environment Variables editor?

HTH

Thank you. This seems to remove the first obstacle on my way to building Boost.Optional docs.

I am now using B2 Version 4.9. OS=LINUX. I get the error from another tool, I suppose:

[2] gcc-12/release/cxxstd-0x-iso/link-static/python-3.10/threadapi-pthread/threading-multi/visibility-hidden ...patience... ...patience... ...found 4351 targets... ...updating 2 targets... xslt-xsltproc ../../../bin.v2/libs/optional/doc/optional.docbook runtime error: file /home/andrzej/Repos/boost/tools/boostbook/xsl/annotation.xsl line 432 element element xsl:element: The effective name '' is not a valid QName.

Is it DocBook, QuickBok, BoostBook? (I enclose the full error report.) I am just running b2 on boost/libs/optional/doc from the official repo. Can someone confirm if they see the same problem? or is it just me?

Regards,

&rzej;
