### Step 1: Build the AutoIndex tool

| Note
This step is strictly optional, but very desirable to speed up build times.

cd into `tools/auto_index/build` and invoke bjam as:

    bjam release

Optionally pass the name of the compiler toolset you want to use to bjam as well:

    bjam release gcc

This will build the tool and place a copy in the current directory (which is to say `tools/auto_index/build`)

Now open up your `user-config.jam` file and at the end of the file add the line:

    using auto-index : full-path-to-boost-tree/tools/auto_index/build/auto-index.exe ;

| Note
This declaration must go towards the end of `user-config.jam`, or in any case after the Boostbook initialisation. Also note that Windows users must use forward slashes in the paths in `user-config.jam`
