how to generate PDF formate documentations of Boost?
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 Unfortunately, this is likely to be hopelessly out of date - I'll see if I get that working again...

Were you successful in building PDF documentation of Boost? -- Best wishes, Easior Lars ------ "It was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way - in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only."
