Michael, thanks for your reply, and happy 2010. I'm back in the
office, and here's what is returned when I execute the command:
================================
$ V=1 make info
make -C Documentation info
make[1]: Entering directory `/local/software/git-1.6.5.7/Documentation'
make -C ../ GIT-VERSION-FILE
make[2]: Entering directory `/local/software/git-1.6.5.7'
make[2]: `GIT-VERSION-FILE' is up to date.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/local/software/git-1.6.5.7'
rm -f user-manual.texi+ user-manual.texi && \
docbook2x-texi user-manual.xml --encoding=UTF-8 --to-stdout
>user-manual.texi++ && \
/usr/bin/perl fix-texi.perl <user-manual.texi++ >user-manual.texi+ && \
rm user-manual.texi++ && \
mv user-manual.texi+ user-manual.texi
Usage: jw [<options>] <sgml_file>
where <options> are:
-f|--frontend <frontend>: Specify the frontend (source format)
(default is docbook)
-b|--backend <backend>: Specify the backend (destination format)
(default is html)
-c|--cat <file>: Specify an extra SGML open catalog
-n|--nostd: Do not use the standard SGML open catalogs
-d|--dsl <file>|default|none: Specify an alternate style sheet
(default is to use the default stylesheet)

automatically)

(jade or openjade)
-o|--output <directory>: Set output directory
-u|--nochunks: Output only one big file
(overrides the stylesheet settings)
-i|--include <section>: Specify a SGML marked section to include
(should be marked as "ignore" in the SGML text)

allowed warning types

error types

make[1]: *** [user-manual.texi] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/local/software/git-1.6.5.7/Documentation'
make: *** [info] Error 2
================================
I've isolated the problem, and its coming from this command:
================================
$ docbook2x-texi user-manual.xml --encoding=UTF-8 --to-stdout
>user-manual.texi++
Usage: jw [<options>] <sgml_file>
where <options> are:
-f|--frontend <frontend>: Specify the frontend (source format)
(default is docbook)
-b|--backend <backend>: Specify the backend (destination format)
(default is html)
-c|--cat <file>: Specify an extra SGML open catalog
-n|--nostd: Do not use the standard SGML open catalogs
-d|--dsl <file>|default|none: Specify an alternate style sheet
(default is to use the default stylesheet)
-l|--dcl <file>: Specify an alternate SGML declaration
(usual ones like xml.dcl get detected
automatically)
-s|--sgmlbase <path>: Change base directory for SGML distribution
(usually /usr/share/sgml)
-p|--parser <program>: Specify the parser if several are installed
(jade or openjade)
-o|--output <directory>: Set output directory

-i|--include <section>: Specify a SGML marked section to include
(should be marked as "ignore" in the SGML text)
-w|--warning <warning_type>|list: Control warnings or display the
allowed warning types
-e|--errors <error_type>|list: Control errors or display the allowed
error types
-h|--help: Print this help message and exit
-V <variable[=value]>: Set a variable
-v|--version: Print the version and exit
$ docbook2x-texi --version
DocBook-utils version 0.6.14 (jw version 1.1)
================================
As you can see, I'm using DocBook-utils version 0.6.14 (jw version
1.1), and it doesn't list '--encoding=UTF-8 --to-stdout' in its
options list. I'm guessing I've got the wrong version or type
installed? Is there another which I should be using?
Thanks for your help,
Craig
