I attached my user-config.jam I also attached the output of ../b2 --debug-configuration, as the file, debug.txt. I went to the BOOST_ROOT directory and rebuilt the headers. Initially ./b2 headers, caused errors, because I had initially run b2 as "sudo ./b2 install". I chowned back to my user, and reran. After I reran I still got the same errors.

I get the following error when I cd

to BOOST_ROOT/doc and run ../bjam

My ~/user-config.jam looks fine. I pasted it bellow the

error.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

I have spent a great deal of time trying to fix

It seems you forgot to paste the user-config. ALso try running with --debug-configuration and paste the header output for that.  this.

It  looks like the doxygen.jam in the

boost_1_63_0/tools/build/src/ tools directory does not like

the syngax of the doxygen rule in ~/user-config.jam.

Building the tti docs with automatic index generation

disabled. Try building with --enable-index.

/home/csims/boost_1_63_0/libs/ dll/doc/Jamfile.v2:66: in

modules.load

*** argument error

* rule doxygen ( target : sources + : requirements * :

default-build * : usage-requirements * )

* called with: ( autodoc_shared_library_core :  :

At this level it looks like it's missing aources. Looking at Boost DLL doc build file https://github.com/boostorg/dll/blob/boost-1.63.0/doc/Jamfile.v2 it does globs for filling header files for the sources. Which would suggest that the headers aren't there. And hence you should try running "b2 headers" first. -- -- Rene Rivera -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Robot Dreams - http://robot-dreams.net -- rrivera/acm.org (msn) - grafikrobot/aim,yahoo,skype,efnet,gmail
