Dear developers,

I have ported Gils tools for building the documentation to macOS and to Ubuntu 
Linux.

I have followed Gil´s logics as far as I could and the names of the scripts are 
in essence the same and the way to use them as well.

For macOS I could make the build run on local files so it is just as fast as 
the Windows version. For Ubuntu I failed this so the Ubuntu version rely on an 
internet connection and is substantially slower. But the output for PDF and 
HTML is (as far as I can judge) identical for all three build processes. So at 
least this constitutes a proof of concept for building on all platforms.

Different from on Windows it was not possible for me to make a self-contained 
version of the build tools, neither on macOS nor on Linux. I have set out what 
tools need to be installed in a file WhatISHere.txt and explained how to 
install them + I have  briefly explained he build process. Since the readme for 
Windows is so complete I refer to it for the deeper understanding of the build 
process.

Further I have set up a Dropbox folder Jenkinsshare 
<https://www.dropbox.com/sh/uv5j1w6h5tioi2y/AACTceDdBkAGDCeguXk0fP6aa?dl=0> 
where I have put zipped copies of the scripts. To try them out copy either one 
of oorexxdocs-macOS.zip or oorexxdocs-Ubuntu.zip to a local folder, unzip and 
follow the instructions in WhatIsHere.txt. Feedback is welcome.

Jenkinsshare 
<https://www.dropbox.com/sh/uv5j1w6h5tioi2y/AACTceDdBkAGDCeguXk0fP6aa?dl=0> 
also contains 3 complete sets of the documentation (Win/macOS/Ubuntu Linux), 
please have a look and let us know what you think.

Jenkinsshare is intended as a platform for sharing files during development. 
Gil, myself and Rony use it for sharing work on the documentation. JenkinsShare 
is owned by Jenkins and present on the master and my Jenkins slaves. Any 
developer who wants permanent access can send me a mail and I will set it up. 
It is NOT a replacement for SVN/Sourceforge, just a quick way of sharing data. 
Since the folder is shared by many I ask you to be moderate when putting data 
there.

Hälsningar/Regards/Grüsse,
P.O. Jonsson
