Subject: [Boost-cmake] Using QuickBook without Boost.Build

Hi,

The QuickBook toolchain is a bit tricky to set up properly. According to
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/BoostDocs/GettingStarted
the chain to generate .html from a .qbk file is QuickBook -> BoostBook -> DocBook -> HTML

According to the documentation of QuickBook
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_37_0/doc/html/quickbook.html
QuickBook will need Boost.Build, hence bjam. However, this documentation might be obsolete. I was wondering whether this "cmake project" found a way to process QuickBook documentation without falling back to bjam based Boost.Build.

(Just looking for a clear answer, I have no problems using Boost.Build for processing QuickBook.)

Regards,
Thomas
