How to build sympy documentation on Windows XP: 1. Go to "http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=9328&package_id=9393&release_id=490307"; and download UnxUtils.zip 2. Extract UnxUtils.zip (I put the extracted directory in C:\). 3. Add "C:\UnxUtils\usr\local\wbin" to PATH 4. Go to "wbin" subdirectory and copy "mkdir.exe" to "umkdir.exe". You need to do this so that you do not use the windows "mkdir". 5. Install "ez_setup.py" (http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py) in "C:\Python26\Scripts" 6. Add "C:\Python26\Scripts" to PATH 7. Install sphinx with "ez_setup.py -U Sphinx" 8. Install "git" for windows 9. git sympy distribution. 10. Go to sympy/doc. 11. Open "Makefile" with editor. 12. Change all "mkdir" to "umkdir". 13. Change "rst2html" to "rst2html.py" on line 4 of Makefile. 14. In the "html:" group change: "umkdir -p _build/html _build/doctrees" to "umkdir -p _build/doctrees" "$(SPHINXBUILD) -b html $(ALLSPHINXOPTS) _build/html" to "$(SPHINXBUILDpy) -b html $(ALLSPHINXOPTS) _build/html" "cp -r src/pics _build/html/" to "cp -r src/pics _build/html" "cp -r src/figures _build/html/" to "cp -r src/figures _build/html" "cp -r src/spt-patches _build/html/" to "cp -r src/spt-patches _build/html" 15. Note that you have to change "umkdir -p _build/html _build/doctrees" to "umkdir -p _build/doctrees" because the version of mkdir (which we have renamed umkdir) with UnxUtils terminates with an error if it is asked to make an existing directory. 16. "make html" and that should do it!
Comment: In order to make the build process more independent of the OS the Makefile should be replaced with a python script. This would allow one to get rid of the need for the unix utilities on windows systems and the problem with inconsistencies in the cp and mkdir commands. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
