Don't get me started! (...he said, while grinding his teeth.)

>> The fop.html page, Configuring Apache FOP for PostScript/PDF Output, should
specify the file for which bjam is looking.  If I just give it my root
directory, c:/fop-0.20.5rc2/, it complains.  It seems to be satisfied with
C:/fop-0.20.5rc2/build, which holds only the fop.jar file.  Is that correct?

> Does not seem so. You need to specify the full path to the fop.bat script.
  Here's my version of the docs:
  <title>Configuring PDF and PostScript Output</title>
<para>The be able to generate PDF and PostScript output...

should be

<para>In order to generate PDF and PostScript output...

[snip]
The remaining text looks good.

I now have

using fop : "C:/fop-0.20.5rc2" : "C:/j2sdk1.4.1_01" ;

in my user-config.jam file but see section D below.


C.
> This mean you have to rebuild bjam from the most up-to-date sources and use
the rebuilt version. CHECK_IF_FILE is a recently introduced function in bjam.

I created a new version of bjam.exe using the source in \tools\build\jam_src
which has improved my results.


D.
If I now run "bjam --v2 pdf" from the C:\boostcvs\doc directory to test my
"using fop" line above for PDF generation, I get

...patience...
...found 204 targets...
...updating 34 targets...
MkDir1 ../bin.v2/doc/gcc
MkDir1 ../bin.v2/doc/gcc/debug
MkDir1 ../bin.v2/libs
    126 [main] BJAM 536107 fork_copy: user/cygwin data pass 2 failed, 0xBB0000..
0x1070000, done 0, windows pid 4294272229, Win32 error 8
vfork: Resource temporarily unavailable

I also note that these results are substantially unchanged when I modify the
"using fop" line.  The same failure occurs if I have
using fop : "C:/fop-0.20.5rc2/fop.sh" : "C:/j2sdk1.4.1_01" ;
or
using fop : "C:/fop-0.20.5rc2/build" : "C:/j2sdk1.4.1_01" ;

I tried to have bjam report an error concerning my bad reference to fop.sh and
it seems to ignore me.  Commenting out the line does get its attention, though,
with a "Cannot build documentation type 'pdf'" error.  (In the interest of full
disclosure, the C:/fop-0.20.5rc2 root directory appears in my autoexec.bat path
statement.)

What shall I try next?
