Hi,
In reference to the message of Andrew S. Halper on Fri, 7 Sep 2001, I was able to build dia-0.88.1 on a RedHat 7.1 system. The information he provided to diagnose the problem helped me to propose a workaround. The solution I provide here allows to create an RPM in RH 7.1 system with the additional gnome-doc-tools-2-1 from http://people/redhat.com/dcm/software.html I modified two files: dia.spec and doc/en/Makefile.am. The tar.gz file that contain the fixes along with my i386 (S)RPMs are available temporarily at http://ailabpc01.cacs.louisiana.edu/dia/ If you want to patch your own sources, here's how I proceeded: First patch involves fixing the wrong version number in dia.spec that's used by RPM: [root@ailabpc01 /root]# diff dia-0.88.1/dia.spec dia-0.88.1-new/dia.spec 2c2 < %define ver 0.88 --- > %define ver 0.88.1 Second patch to doc/en/Makefile.am consists of two fixes: - First it "steals the trick" (as put by Greg quoted in the reference message) from the sgmldocs.make file in the gnome-core HEAD (from http://cvs.gnome.org/bonsai/cvsblame.cgi?file=gnome-core/sgmldocs.make&rev=&root=/cvs/gnome). The trick is to use the -c option of jw (therefore db2html) to point to the correct catalog (/etc/sgml/catalog). WARNING: I don't know if this breaks down compatibility with other platforms. - Second was little confusing, apparently my system does a number of things unexpected by the makefile. That is, db2html doesn't create any css files, and moreover it moves the existing dia-manual/ subdir in doc/en/ to become dia-manual.junk/. This confuses the makefile because it has a directory called stylesheet-images/ under the distributed dia-manual/ directory. Fixes: - I test for existence of *.css files and then execute two different versions of the install command. - I've added a '*' at the end of dia-manual/ so that it will find the stylesheet-images/ even if it's under original or the *.junk/ directory. These fixes shouldn't cause any problems with other platforms since they are compatible with the existing code (emphasize on *shouldn't*). Once you modify the doc/en/Makefile.am, you need to go to the root and do 'automake'. Otherwise the existing doc/en/Makefile.in will be intact. I don't know why RPM doesn't automatically do this everytime. You guys should have a valid reason, I suppose. The diff follows: [root@ailabpc01 /root]# diff dia-0.88.1/doc/en/Makefile.am dia-0.88.1-new/doc/en/Makefile.am 37c37 < cd $(srcdir) && $(DB2HTML) dia-manual.sgml && touch stamp-doc --- > cd $(srcdir) && $(DB2HTML) -c /etc/sgml/catalog dia-manual.sgml && touch stamp-doc 46,47c46,51 < -cp $(srcdir)/dia-manual/*.html $(srcdir)/dia-manual/*.css $(distdir)/dia-manual < mkdir $(distdir)/dia-manual/stylesheet-images --- > if test -f $(srcdir)/dia-manual/*.css; then \ > -cp $(srcdir)/dia-manual/*.{html,css} $(distdir)/dia-manual \ > else \ > -cp $(srcdir)/dia-manual/*.html $(distdir)/dia-manual \ > fi > mkdir $(distdir)/dia-manual*/stylesheet-images 52,54c56,64 < for file in $(srcdir)/dia-manual/*.html $(srcdir)/dia-manual/*.css; do\ < $(INSTALL_DATA) $$file $(DESTDIR)$(helpdir)/`basename $$file`; \ < done --- > if test -f $(srcdir)/dia-manual/*.css; then \ > for file in $(srcdir)/dia-manual/*.{html,css}; do\ > $(INSTALL_DATA) $$file $(DESTDIR)$(helpdir)/`basename $$file`; \ > done \ > else \ > for file in $(srcdir)/dia-manual/*.html; do\ > $(INSTALL_DATA) $$file $(DESTDIR)$(helpdir)/`basename $$file`; \ > done \ > fi 56c66 < for file in $(srcdir)/dia-manual/stylesheet-images/*.gif; do \ --- > for file in $(srcdir)/dia-manual*/stylesheet-images/*.gif; do \ DISCLAIMER: This is the first time I play with automake syntax or change RPM specs. I hope I didn't mess anything up..
