Building the documenation
*************************
Prerequisites
-------------
* Python_ 2.3 or higher
* Docutils_ 0.4 or higher
* Docutils `HTML/frames writer`_ from Docutils Sandbox. Download it as
a part of daily `Sandbox snapshot`_ at or get it from the `Docutils'
Subversion repository`_.
Building
--------
1. Install prerequisites.
- To install Docutils, go into its source directory and run
``python setup.py install``.
- To install HTML/frames writer, go to Sandbox's ``agurtovoy/html_frames``
directory and run ``python setup.py install``.
2. Make sure your Python ``Scripts`` directory (e.g. ``C:\Python25\Scripts``)
is in your search path.
3. Go to ``$BOOST_ROOT/libs/mpl/doc/src/docutils`` directory and do
``python setup.py install`` to install MPL-specific HTML/refdoc Docutils
writer.
4. Do ``python build.py``. It's going to take a couple of minutes to finish.
5. If all goes well, the resulting HTML docs will be placed in
``$BOOST_ROOT/libs/mpl/doc/src/_build/`` directory.
