Since you are using a *nix system, you could check out the makefiles and configure script that were in tools/boostbook/build. They're in the attic now, but you can get to them using the CVS web interface. Doug ___ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost

OK, I can get boostbook running on RH8.0 using: using boostbook : /usr/share/sgml/docbook/xsl-stylesheets/ : /usr/share/sgml/docbook/xml-dtd-4.1.2-1.0-14/ ; My interest was to try to learn about boostbook for my own purposes, which means running without bjam. Where would I find info on this, or can I ask bjam to show me the commands it is running? On Thursday 27 March 2003 10:17 am, Douglas Paul Gregor wrote: > On Thu, 27 Mar 2003, Neal D.

BoostBook isn't DocBook (although it can be transformed into DocBook), so DocBook tools won't work directly on it. We have our own build tools (Boost.Build v2) that are roughly equivalent to those scripts. See the "Getting Started" section here for info on getting BoostBook up and running with bjam: http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~gregod/boost/tools/boostbook/doc/html/ You probably have most/all of the prerequisites already, you'll just need to tell BBv2 about them.

Re: [boost] [BoostBook] Guinea pig request (novice alert)
I'm interested in learning about boostbook and would like to try it out. For some reason I can't seem to get my docbook tools to run. Perhaps someone can give me a hint what's wrong. I'm afraid I'm a docbook novice. I'm using Linux RH8.0 with all updates. I can run a simple test: db2pdf Test.xml Using catalogs: /etc/sgml/xml-docbook-4.2-1.0-14.cat Using stylesheet: /usr/share/sgml/docbook/utils-0.6.11/docbook-utils.dsl#print Working on: /home/nbecker/Test.xml Done. Here is the start of Test.xml: http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd";> [...] Now try with boostbook: db2pdf boostbook.xml jw: Please specify at least one catalog Any clue what's wrong? ___ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
