The following instructions apply to any Windows system based on Windows 2000, including Windows XP, Windows 2003 Server and Windows Vista. The paths shown below are taken from a Windows Vista machine; you will need to adjust them to match your system in case you are running an older version.
xsltproc
for Windows. There are many ways to get this tool, but to keep things simple,
use the binary packages
made by Igor Zlatkovic. At the very least, you need to download the following
packages: iconv
, zlib
, libxml2
and libxslt
.
bin
, include
and lib
directories within
the hierarchy. These instructions use C:\Users\example\Documents\boost\xml
as the root for all files.
bin
directory and launch xsltproc.exe
to ensure it works. You should get usage information on screen.
C:\Users\example\Documents\boost\xml\docbook-xml
.
docbook-xsl
(bypassing the version name): C:\Users\example\Documents\boost\xml\docbook-xsl
.
user-config.jam
file, which should live in your home directory (%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%
).
You must already have it somewhere or otherwise you could not be building
Boost (i.e. missing tools configuration).
using xsltproc : "C:/Users/example/Documents/boost/xml/bin/xsltproc.exe" ; using boostbook : "C:/Users/example/Documents/boost/xml/docbook-xsl" : "C:/Users/example/Documents/boost/xml/docbook-xml" ;
The above steps are enough to get a functional BoostBook setup. Quickbook will be automatically built when needed. If you want to avoid these rebuilds:
BOOST_ROOT\tools\quickbook
).
bjam
--v2
.
quickbook.exe
binary (located under the BOOST_ROOT\bin.v2
hierarchy)
to a safe place. Following our previous example, you can install it into:
C:\Users\example\Documents\boost\xml\bin
.
user-config.jam
file:
using quickbook : "C:/Users/example/Documents/boost/xml/bin/quickbook.exe" ;
