[Refdb-devel] CVS build problem: doc build fails on debian because no batik-rasterizer script

[David N. <dav...@sw...>]

Hi Markus,

When the wildcard problem is fixed, the refdb build fails on debian at 
document generation because there is no 'batik-rasterizer' script on 
debian systems:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
make[2]: Entering directory 
`/home/david/data/computing/projects/refdb/packages/refdb/custom/pkg/debianise/source/refdb-0.0-cvs-20051210/doc'

I have the debian batik package (libbatik-java) installed and up-to-date 
but it does not include *any* scripts.  I've tried running the 
rasterizer directly:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ java -cp 
/usr/share/java/batik.jar:/usr/share/java/xerces.jar:/usr/share/java/js.jar 
org.apache.batik.apps.rasterizer.Main

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

but either I am invoking the wrong class or there is some environmental 
variable set incorrectly.  The FreeBSD rasterizer script uses JPackage's 
java-utils to set variables and invoke the java rasterizer.  The 
java-utils infrastructure is not available in debian so the method used 
by the BSD rasterizer script to invoke the rasterizer can't be adapted 
for use on the debian platform.

As a temporary fix I've altered the /doc makefile to use ImageMagick's 
'convert' utility which is able to convert SVG to PDF and PNG.  This 
suite is available in BSD (port=ImageMagick) and contains the same 
utility called by the same name.  Have you considered using 'convert' in 
the makefile instead of 'batik-rasterizer'?

Regards,
David.
