[Gimp-docs] Problems building PDF file from gimp-help-2.0.9

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I am trying to build the PDF version of the Gimp manual and am
running into problems. I have an up-to-date FC4 installation and I
am hoping someone can point me to a simple mistake that I can
rectify.

I'm trying to keep it simple by doing the following:
# ALL_LINGUAS=en ./configure --without-gimp --disable-network
# make
# make pdf

But I get the following mess:
  |keithh@kph [219]* make pdf
  |mkdir -p -- xml
  |-- Profiling XML for en
  |*** Profiling XML files ***
  |*** Building LaTeX files ***
  |-- Building LaTeX for en
  |I/O error : Attempt to load network entity http://db2latex.sourceforge.net/xsl/docbook.xsl
  |warning: failed to load external entity "http://db2latex.sourceforge.net/xsl/docbook.xsl";
  |compilation error: file ../../stylesheets/plainprint.xsl line 6 element import
  |xsl:import : unable to load http://db2latex.sourceforge.net/xsl/docbook.xsl
  |make: *** [stamps/latex.stamp] Error 5

The configure command produced the following:
  |keithh@kph [217]* ALL_LINGUAS=en ./configure --without-gimp --disable-network
  |checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
  |checking whether build environment is sane... yes

  | Rebuild the help files:         no
  | Languages:                      en
  | Installation prefix:            ${datadir}/gimp/2.0
  | Optimize PNGs for HTML files:   no

Any pointers?

On a related topic: the reason that I'm trying to build the PDF
file is that I want to print a hard-copy. If I'm going to invest a
lot of time learning a new tool, I want a manual that doesn't tie
me to the computer. This begs the question: why not just supply
the PDF on the website? This is *way* too much work for a manual.

Thanks,
