MAC OS X,using macports (mac boosting)

Mac OS X, using macports

First install the libxslt, docbook-xsl and docbook-xml-4.2 packages:

sudo port install libxslt docbook-xsl docbook-xml-4.2

Next, we need to configure Boost Build to compile BoostBook files. Add the following to your user-config.jam file, which should be in your home directory. If you don't have one, create a file containing this text. For more information on setting up user-config.jam, see the Boost Build documentation.

using xsltproc
    : /opt/local/bin/xsltproc
    ;

using boostbook
    : /opt/local/share/xsl/docbook-xsl/
    : /opt/local/share/xml/docbook/4.2
    ;

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.
3. Copy the resulting quickbook binary (located at BOOST_ROOT/dist/bin) to a safe place. The traditional location is /usr/local/bin.
4. Add the following to your user-config.jam file, using the full path of the quickbook executable:

   using quickbook
       : /usr/local/bin/quickbook
       ;
    

If you need to build documentation that uses Doxygen, you will need to install it as well:

sudo port install doxygen

And then add to your user-config.jam:

using doxygen ;
