I do not know how Cygwin packages things, but here is an exchange I had with k.org admin when they updated the machine I prepare the preformatted documentation pages and I had similar trouble. -- >8 -- from here -- >8 -- /usr/share/sgml/docbook/xmlcatalog on master.kernel.org is empty: $ ls -l /usr/share/sgml/docbook/xmlcatalog -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 236 2008-06-30 06:51 /usr/share/sgml/docbook/xmlcatalog $ cat /usr/share/sgml/docbook/xmlcatalog <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE catalog PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD Entity Resolution XML Catalog V1.0//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/entity/release/1.0/catalog.dtd"> <catalog xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog"/> On a good machine, however, it is much larger: $ ls -l /usr/share/sgml/docbook/xmlcatalog -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7907 Jul 4 14:08 /usr/share/sgml/docbook/xmlcatalog $ grep docbookx /usr/share/sgml/docbook/xmlcatalog <public publicId="-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN" uri="xml-dtd-4.1.2-1.0-35.fc9/docbookx.dtd"/> <public publicId="-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.2//EN" uri="xml-dtd-4.2-1.0-35.fc9/docbookx.dtd"/> <public publicId="-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.3//EN" uri="xml-dtd-4.3-1.0-35.fc9/docbookx.dtd"/> <public publicId="-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.4//EN" uri="xml-dtd-4.5-1.0-35.fc9/docbookx.dtd"/> The lack of these entries seems to cause the processing to go to the network instead of using the files locally installed. -- 8< -- to here -- 8< -- and a response I got from them: -- >8 -- from here -- >8 -- Hmmm tried reinstalling docbook-dtds-1.0-35.fc9.noarch.rpm and things seem to have showed up like your expecting - clearly a bad dependency in the rpm.

I hope the above (words like "docbook-dtds") has enough hints for you to find corresponding set of packages on Cygwin to additionally install or futz with to get the formatting working. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
