Dean Nelson,
I like to getting involved with DocBook project and contribute to develop
it.
I will go though the links which are provided by you. It seems to be I can
find more information from the Bob Stayton's book on DocBook.
Up to now, I followed the procedure which is mentioned in the file
"docbook/trunk/xsl/README.BUILD". According to the readme file, I did
following steps which are mentioned as relevant for contributors;
"Part 1: Build and test the stylesheets
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This section explains how to do a developer/contributor
build of
the stylesheets."
> Part 0: Build Setup
> 0. Third-party build dependencies.
> 3. Shell Environment.
> 4. ~/.xmlc
> Part 1: Build and test the stylesheets
> 1. make all ( I got an error here while executing
*"rm -f DOCBOOK-BUILD.LOG && \*
* . ~/docbk.sh && \*
* $DOCBOOK_SVN/buildtools/build-clean && \*
* make all 2>&1 \*
* XSLTENGINE=xsltproc \*
* | tee DOCBOOK-BUILD.LOG && \*
* $DOCBOOK_SVN/buildtools/build-check DOCBOOK-BUILD.LOG"*) piece of
lines.
I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 to build the stylesheets
When I execute the command without changing any thing, I got below message;
" *gihan-PC:~$ rm -f DOCBOOK-BUILD.LOG && \*
*> . ~/docbk.sh && \*
*> $DOCBOOK_SVN/buildtools/build-clean && \*
*> make all 2>&1 \*
*> XSLTENGINE=xsltproc \*
*> | tee DOCBOOK-BUILD.LOG && \*
*> $DOCBOOK_SVN/buildtools/build-check DOCBOOK-BUILD.LOG*
*svn: warning: '.' is not a working copy*
*svn: warning: '.' is not a working copy*
*make: *** No rule to make target `all'. Stop.*
*
*
*Possible build problems found:*
*
*
*make: *** No rule to make target `all'. Stop.*
*
*
*Stopping.* "
What is the problem with my procedure?. How can I create a ". ~/docbk.sh"
file ?.
Thank You in Advance !.
regards,
Gihan Chanuka
