[Boost-users] how to generate PDF formate documentations of Boost?

[easior via Boost-users]

Hi, all in the list.

I plan to build boost documentation in pdf format for latest version of boost. However, it's no luck to me even following the link:

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_40_0/doc/html/boostbook/getting/started.html.

I can only find HTML formatted documentation for boost. I don't know what about the relationship between boost and doxygen. I also have no idea about the mechanism of the boostbook.

Any suggection?

Thanks in advance,

Easior Lars

Wow, Boost 1.40 is now fairly old.

I've been using the information from
https://svn.boost.org/trac10/wiki/BoostDocs/GettingStarted --
specifically with the XEP Personal Edition.

It might be worth remarking that I build Boost PDF documents on a Mac,
and I specifically build documentation for one particular library at a
time. I've never attempted to build a combined document for multiple
libraries.

As the person who used to build said PDF documentation, I confess to
having dropped the ball on that :(

There are quite a few tools you need to install before you can transform
docbook to PDF, the details are here:
https://svn.boost.org/trac10/wiki/BoostDocs/GettingStarted

Then there is a test to check your toolchain under boost-root/doc/test.

To build everything, you need to invoke the Jamfile under doc/pdf.
Unfortunately, this is likely to be hopelessly out of date - I'll see if
I get that working again...

John.

I have made some preparations on a Mac, following the above link.
However, it's no luck to me.

How to reach your end of building specific documentation? Using
doxygen or jam file?

Were you successful in building PDF documentation of Boost?
