Hello all, The maintainer of the lq-nsgmls package has posted a new MACH-friendly version, v. 1.3.4.14.
http://htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/offline/index.html.en The software on this site is good to go for packaging, should anyone be interested. Thanks, Michael I have a fix for building the WDG Offline HTMLHelp.com Validator on 10.4 and 10.5. Might anyone be interested in building a port? The project home page with dependencies is: http://htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/offline/index.html.en The port is named wdg-validate in NetBSD and I believe "validate" in OpenBSD: http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc/www/wdg-validate/README.html http://www.openbsd.org/3.4_packages/i386/validate-1.1.2.tgz-long.html It requires three components: The validate PERL script. Must be executable and in /usr/local/bin/ The wdg-sgml-lib library, as /usr/local/share/wdg/ The lq-nsgmls parser in /usr/local/bin/ which requires line 36 of the Makefile to be changed to: XDEFINES=-DSP_HAVE_SOCKET -DSP_MUTEX_PTHREADS ... in order to build on 10.4 and 10.5. I have asked the upstream maintainer to include this fix. Thanks, Michael.
