An hour!? Are you using couple of hamsters? :P It should take a minute, max. Takes^WTook 30seconds on my laptop. You are probably running outdated libxml2, try upgrading it. You could try running xsltproc --stringparam rootid function.strpos phpbook/phpbook-xsl/phpweb.xsl manual.xml (replacing 'function.strpos' with the ID you want to build, and 'phpweb.xsl' with 'html.xsl' if you want the html output). However, this won't work on any BSD box (FreeBSD, MacOSX...) due to some severe memory allocation bugs in libxml2 which I still haven't managed to track down (and are BSD specific somehow). Your best bet is upgrading libxml2+libxslt but if your hardware is from the stone age then your hardware is from the stone age... :) However. As I said earlier, we know the build system *sucks*. We are working on it and have already made maaaassive improvements to it (http://docs.php.net/manual/en/index.php and http://docs.php.net/download-docs.php (english) was for example generated in less than 3minutes...) :] -Hannes
