** Description changed: - Part of Boost are two tools for producing documentation, boostbook and quickbook (the latter not to be mistaken with the accounting software of the same name). - Neither of them can be found in any of Ubuntu's Boost-related packages. + Part of Boost are a couple of tools (eg boostbook and quickbook, for producing documentation). + Neither of them can currently be found in any of Ubuntu's Boost-related packages. Following current practice, they should probably go to libboost1.3?-dev. - In order to use Boost's quickbook tool, boostbook is required, so I - guess it'd actually make sense two provide two separate packages, or - perhaps one named libboost-doc-dev or so. + The attached patches roughly follow information on how to compile both from source on Ubuntu and Debian as found on Boost's website: + http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/tools/quickbook/doc/html/quickbook/install/linux.html - Information on how to compile both from source on Ubuntu and Debian is found on Boost's website: - http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/tools/quickbook/doc/html/quickbook/install/linux.html + and some advice concerning how to configure the boost build system to acknowledge the present of those tools: + http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.build/20084 + + Skip to comment 11 if you're not interested in the history and evolution of this bug. + (Description rewritten on 2009-06-03)
