documentation generating questions

[Cromwell Enage]

I'm currently using CVS HEAD for learning how to use
Quickbook.  My compiler is MinGW (GCC 3.4.5).

1. Is there a way I can tell BJam not to [re]build
intermediary files in the bin.v2 directory in order to
generate BoostBook documentation, or does BJam
actually need those intermediary files instead of some
requisite shared/static libraries that I can specify
via a using declaration?  IME, the first time I invoke
BJam from within BOOST_ROOT/doc, the intermediary
files are built, but then my computer shuts off.  When
I turn it back on, no documentation has been
generated.  However, whenever I invoke BJam from then
on, everything works fine (but see below).

2. BJam doesn't generate BoostBook HTML files if the
directories in which they would be located don't yet
exist (e.g. BOOST_ROOT/doc/html/typeof).  Is this a
bug or a feature?

in your user-config.jam, you can put the repertory of quickbook.  
something like

using quickboock: "rep/of/quickbook";

see the doc on the installation page. Myself, I didn't need to do this  
and it don't recreate the intermediate file each time... (I am using  
M$ compiler)

It seems you need a patched version of xsltproc, see the boostbook  
documentation ont the top of the installation page. the standard  
version can't create the repertories

!!! Someone should really put more weight on this in the doc !!!
!!! and correct the quickboock installation page which don't mention this !!!

If you want to avoid rebuilding quickbook, then add:

using quickbook : path-to-exe/quickbook.exe ;

to user-config.jam.

It's a problem with the windows port of xsltproc, there's a patched version
here: http://www.meta-comm.com/engineering/boost/xsltproc-win32.zip see the
Boostbook getting started guide here for more details:
http://www.boost.org/doc/html/boostbook/getting/started.html

HTH, John.

Okay, that worked.  I had a "using quickbook"
statement without the path.
