So, kindly suggest how to exclude docs.
Running b2 in the root of the boost distribution does not
build the docs. In fact, you have to work extra hard to
build the docs at all.

You can see the screenshot below

I got those output with ./bootstrap.sh followed by ./b2 and checkinstall ./b2 install
I wanted to avoid copying those files, not sure if you meant something else (Those docs are already in html, i think you meant html to pdf?)
I'm not familiar with checkinstall, but the output
you're showing is definitely not from `b2 install`

Is it so hard to write some normal installation procedures? From where should we know that after runnung ./b2 we should also type " ./b2 install" .... ? I was checking for standard make... cmake... etc Not even sure if now is it properly installed or not since I am trying to install gnuradio with pybombs and it tells me that the Detected version of Boost is too old. Requested version was 1.67... So apparently is still not installed. What about the installation path? I did the installation in home directory. Please clarify the installation procedure!!! |

Hi,
I would like to build boost libraries without documentation files. with only header files and .so libraries.
I have tried ./b2 --help or ./bootstrap --help but can't find any info there.
Since i am using checkinstall to install it and there are lots of docs, it is taking a lot time to finish installation.
So, kindly suggest how to exclude docs.
Thanks.
