DON'T PANIC

How about this? Worked for the best-selling book in the galaxy ;)

I like it. Always good to start an adventure with a smile ;-)

It's really not about command line versus GUI. It's just that default installation _should_ be one-button (or one batch command) operation.

Instead, a simple requirement "install the quickbook" forses a

person

to:

...

1) check out Boost CVS; 2) build bjam; 3) figure out the difference between Boost.Build v1 and v2; 4) download and configire Boost.Build v2; 5) figure out how to build the quickbook (any info about this in the

docs?)

...

6) download xslt processor from cygwin; 7) build the Boost.Book 8) Do whatever else (I am not even close to this right now).

Sorry if I am somwhat off topic. Just waisting my day off, and being frustrated RIGHT NOW.

Try this one... Gets you a good part of the way there..

[Brian Braatz Writes:] THIS COMPLETELY ROCKS! Please finish it. REQUEST: (ok, get ready to attack me) Install PreBuilt LIB files I would still cannot build wave and will be spending a chunk of the weekend working on this, if the install came with pre-built libs, I would have been able to have been coding for the 8 hours I have spent trying to get wave to work
