Re: [tbox-l] HTMLDOC

[David C. <cl...@au...>]

You can find g++ in the Toolbox.  You may want to install the "app-dev"
application development bundle of toolbox packages, which includes gcc, g++,
GNU make, and a few other basic development utilities.

It looks like HTMLDOC is a typical "configure; make" type of package.
What I do is set my path to PATH=/usr/linux/bin:$PATH
which ensures the Toolbox GNU utilites are used (for example, the GNU make
command instead of the native AIX make command).
Then after unpacking the source and going into the source directory,
you run:
$ ./configure
$ make
And if all goes well, the build completes; if something goes wrong, it's
pretty much a case-by-case investigation of what error occured.
If you have problems getting started with this, you can of course post
more questions to this list.  If you run into problems specific to this
application itself, another source of help would be their own htmldoc
news groups; I see an "htmldoc.general" at http://www.easysw.com/espnews.php.

I will add "htmldoc" to our request list; however, because of legal issues
over distributing open source code, it unlikely to be added anytime soon
(if at all).  Because of this, building the binaries yourself is the best
option.
