BoostBook provides a nearly-automatic setup script. Once you have downloaded and installed xsltproc, doxygen, and (optionally) java, the setup script can download the required DocBook stylesheets, DocBook DTD, and (when Java is enabled) Apache FOP for PDF output. It will then configure Boost.Build version 2 to build BoostBook documentation. To perform the installation, execute the script tools/boostbook/setup_boostbook.sh from a directory where you would like the resulting XSL, DTD, and Apache FOP installations to occur.
