Re: [Firebird-docs] Docbook framework committed to cvs

[David J. <dav...@ea...>]

Hi,
Did you check out the entire manual project from sourceforge cvs? go to
src/build directory and type (in terminal window) build.bat.  This should
start ant and give you a list of the targets.  Everythng for the
compilation of xml to html and pdf is included, including ant, the xml
parsing and xsl engines, the flow objects for pdf, etc. etc.

There are a few more instructions in the preface.

I haven't been able to test the build.bat in windows, if this doesn't work
let me know, maybe you can fix it by comparing to build.sh which does work
for me.

Hi I tried this with <sitename>=firebird.sourceforge.net and my sourceforge
username and password, which are not recognized.  I found a document on
sourceforge that seems to indicate that ftp to anything at sourceforge is
not allowed, and recommends changing your password if you try it.  Does
this work for you?

thanks
