The latest QuickBook docs has a section on installation and
configuration (contributed by Julio M. Merino Vidal). Please
check it out. It's in the Boost CVS trunk.
I shall try to copy the text here:
Windows 2000, XP, 2003, Vista
Section contributed by Julio M. Merino Vidal
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.
1. First of all you need to have a copy of 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.
2. Unpack all these packages in the same directory so that you get
unique bin, include and lib directories within the hierarchy. These
instructions use C:\Users\example\Documents\boost\xml as the root for
all files.
3. From the command line, go to the bin directory and launch
xsltproc.exe to ensure it works. You should get usage information on screen.
4. Download Docbook XML 4.2 and unpack it in the same directory used
above. That is: C:\Users\example\Documents\boost\xml\docbook-xml.
5. Download the latest Docbook XSL version and unpack it, again in
the same directory used before. To make things easier, rename the
directory created during the extraction to docbook-xsl (bypassing the
version name): C:\Users\example\Documents\boost\xml\docbook-xsl.
6. Add the following to your 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:
1. Go to Quickbook's source directory (BOOST_ROOT\tools\quickbook).
2. Build the utility by issuing bjam --v2.
3. Copy the resulting 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.
4. Add the following to your user-config.jam file:
using quickbook
: "C:/Users/example/Documents/boost/xml/bin/quickbook.exe"
;
