What it says about PDF's though is:
"First of all you will need an FO processor, there are basically only two free two choices here:
* Apache FOP from http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/ * XEP Personal edition from http://www.renderx.com/download/personal.html
The XEP processor generally produces much better results, but inserts a small "built with XEP" advert in the footer of each page. You will also need a Java virtual machine to run the FO processor on.
I've seen the RenderX's footer in other pdf doc's before. I've downloaded the XEP Personal edition and installed successfully.
You will then need to edit your user-config.jam file to point to the
location of the
FO processor, for example:
using fop : # path to invocation batch file: C:/Progra~1/RenderX/xep/xep.bat
I've changed this line to correspond to my settings: D:/Program Files/RenderX/XEP/xep.bat
: # path to Java installation, this is ignored if you're using XEP: C:/PROGRA~1/Java/j2re1.4.2_12 ;
I've added the am lines at the end of the, virtually blank, tools/build/v2/user-config.jam file. And then I invoke
bjam pdf
but I got nothing except an error:
error: Unknown target type FO
and other semmingly useless message.
More help still needed. Thanks in advance.
Hmmm, did you configure quickbook and docbook in the user-config.jam as well? If not I'll refer you back to the Wiki page ;-) BTW, building boost documentation like this is really only designed for Boost's authors and maintainers, it's not intended that end-users should have to set up such a long toolchain unless they really want to!
