Dear all, I am starting a new thread so as not to pollute Gil´s thread. This is just until we have a permanent solution. I now have a working installation on Windows 7 that can reliably build the documentation, both as pdf and html. All-in-all I have 16 books, the only ones that fail are „BuildMachine“ that it seems no-one worked on since 2012 and „oorexx“ that contains the Common_Content used by by all other books (not a book in itself?). From optical inspection I can not find any major differences with the document on Sourceforge. I intend to use also Gil's „modded“ versions and see if this results in a different output. @Gil, can you make them available from revision 11973? I had to make a few changes to some of the documents, I have documented the changes in a diff file (attached). I also had to raise the limit for Java Heap space for ooDialog to build (2080 pages!). I have set 2048kb, possibly 1024 will be sufficient, it stalled on 2048 pages with 980kb. I have not used Erichs pre-cleaning Rexx script until now, information on how to use it (and on what files) is welcome. The bad news is that the build of some of the documents takes a LOT of time, rexxref 30 minutes and oodialog 40 minutes building pdf and html on a very powerful machine (14,8 Megaclauses). The good news is that the build of all documents can be made in parallel! I can launch 16 builds at the same time and most documents finish in 3-15 minutes. So there is hope for putting this on the Jenkins Win slave, let me know if I should give it a try. Even with 16 docs building in parallel the CPU is moderately used and I have 5 GB free memory (out of 8 GB). I have put the built documents in my dropbox, as well as the complete thread (threads actually) between Erich and Rick 2018-2019, reading it anyone should be able to retrace their steps and make a build on W7 or W10. I added some other documents as well. |
