Andrzej, in order to build boost documentation, many packages must be
installed locally, at the right version number. The Jamfile needs to point
to those locations. If a prerequisite is missing it won't build.

Here are scripts to get set up to build docs:
https://github.com/boostorg/release-tools/tree/master/build_docs

The script installs packages which might conflict with existing
installations on your local machine. In that case, run it inside a
container or a cloud VM if you prefer.
