*** * GForge documentation tools installation guide *** XML Docbook -- You must have the docbook DTDs installed on your computer. On many distros, there are some docbook packages to install them easily. Download docbook XSL stylesheets from http://sourceforge.net/projects/docbook/ . Install them anywhere you want then add a symlink to them called docbook in xsl/ folder. DB2LaTeX -- Download DB2LaTeX XSL stylesheets from http://sourceforge.net/projects/db2latex/ . Install them anywhere you want then add a symlink to them called db2latex in xsl/ folder. PDFLatex -- You have to install PDFLatex to generate the pdf output. It's distributed in tetex-latex package. I personally installed a lot of tetex packages as I don't know which ones I really need :). Documentation tools in Debian -- For HTML documentation tools, run: # apt-get install docbook-xml docbook-xsl libxml2-utils xsltproc Then making the symbolic link is like that (in docs/docbook/xsl): $ ln -s /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh docbook For PDF documentation tools, run: # apt-get install db2latex-xsl tetex-extra latex-ucs Then make the symbolic link (in docs/docbook/xsl): $ mkdir db2latex $ ln -s /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/db2latex/latex db2latex/xsl All these steps are automated in the Makefile by using sudo: $ make debianhtml $ make debianpdf $ make debian # runs both debianhtml and debianpdf
