Milestone:  Boost 1.39.0  |   Component:  quickbook
  Version:  Boost 1.38.0  |    Severity:  Problem

--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 I'm trying to generate docs for proto manually.  I'm on the trunk. Proto's
 'proto.qbk' contains the line

 [xinclude reference.xml]

 which is in the same directory as proto.qbk itself:


 % ls -l /home/troy/Projects/boost/trunk/src/libs/proto/doc/proto.qbk
 -rw-r--r-- 1 troy troy 11250 Jan 24 06:54
 /home/troy/Projects/boost/trunk/src/libs/proto/doc/proto.qbk

 % ls -l /home/troy/Projects/boost/trunk/src/libs/proto/doc/reference.xml
 -rw-r--r-- 1 troy troy 36374 Jan 24 06:54
 /home/troy/Projects/boost/trunk/src/libs/proto/doc/reference.xml

 I cd to a build directory parallel to the source tree, and generate the
 xml with quickbook.  I've hacked some couts into the xinclude action:

 % cd /home/troy/Projects/boost/trunk/build/libs/proto/doc &&
 ../../../bin/quickbook --output-file=proto.xml
 /home/troy/Projects/boost/trunk/src/libs/proto/doc/proto.qbk
 Generating Output File: proto.xml
 infile=/home/troy/Projects/boost/trunk/src/libs/proto/doc/proto.qbk
 outdir=/home/troy/Projects/boost/trunk/build/libs/proto/doc/.
 returning path=../../../../../src/libs/proto/doc/reference.xml

 I doublecheck the path to reference.xml in the generated proto.xml:

 % grep reference.xml proto.xml
   <xi:include href="../../../../../src/libs/proto/doc/reference.xml" />

 And I check the path:

 % ls ../../../../../src
 ls: cannot access ../../../../../src: No such file or directory

 Wrong.  There is one ../ too many:

 % ls ../../../../src
 BuildSlave.cmake  Jamroot          Welcome.txt  boost/ boost.png      doc/
 libs/    project-config.jam  tools/
 CMakeLists.txt    LICENSE_1_0.txt  bin.v2/      boost-build.jam
 bootstrap.sh*  index.htm   more/    rst.css             wiki/
 INSTALL           README.txt       bjam*        boost.css        dist/
 index.html  people/  status/


 workaround:   use absolute paths
