$Id$
This directory contains the source files needed to build the:
Ethereal User's guide
and the:
Ethereal Developer's Guide (in an early state, currently very win32 related).
To build both Guide's, just do 'make', but see requirements below.
The guides are written in Docbook/XML (formerly Docbook/SGML). This format is
now used by many other documentation projects, e.g. "the linux documentation
project" uses it too.
To get HTML, PDF or other output formats, conversions are done using XSL
stylesheets, which provides a flexible way for these conversions.
The current Makefile is running under Win32 in the cygwin environment, so it uses
GNU make and such. It should be pretty easy to use it in UNIX environments too.
Using Microsoft make (nmake) is not supported.
By default the Makefile generates HTML in single page and multiple (chunked) formats
and PDF. The optional output format CHM has to be enabled in the Makefile.
Requirements:
-------------
Settings in Makefile and catalog.xml
------------------------------------
You have to edit the settings in these files, to point to the DTD/XSL files, fop (and possibly hhc).
DocBook XML DTD
---------------
DocBook "official" XML DTD V4.2 from:
http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/
(or using cygwin package docbook-xml42)
DocBook XSL
-----------
The "official" XSL stylesheets from Norman Walsh:
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/
(or using cygwin package docbook-xsl)
xsltproc
--------
The XSL processor xsltproc.
(it seems to be packages libxml2 and libxslt, ... please give comments)
FOP processor (for PDF generation only)
---------------------------------------
FOP processor from the apache project:
http://xml.apache.org/fop/
FOP is a JAVA program, so you need to have a JAVA environment installed.
I have put the fop-0.20.5 dir right into the sources dir. If you have it somewhere else,
you'll have to change the setting in the Makefile.
Be sure to also have installed JAI and/or jimi to be able to use/convert the png graphics files.
The fop release note webpage tells how to do it:
download jimi from:
http://java.sun.com/products/jimi/
then extract the archive, then copy JimiProClasses.zip to FOP's lib dir and rename it to jimi-1.0.jar.
As I got OutOfMemoryException when running fop, I had to insert -Xmx256m into the last line of the fop.bat file from:
java -cp "%LOCALCLASSPATH%" org.apache.fop.apps.Fop %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8
to:
java -Xmx256m -cp "%LOCALCLASSPATH%" org.apache.fop.apps.Fop %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8
This should be added automatically on unixish systems.
HTML help compiler (for chm file generation only)
-------------------------------------------------
hhc compiler from Microsoft:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/htmlhelp/html/hwMicrosoftHTMLHelpDownloads.asp
Packages for Suse 9.3

Makefile:
---------
There are several ways and tools to do these conversion, following is a short
description of the way the makefile targets are doing things and which output
files required for a release in that format.
all
Will generate both guide's in all available output formats (see below).
make eug
Will generate Ethereal User's Guide in all available output formats.
make eug_html
The HTML file is generated using xsltproc and the XSL stylesheets from
Norman Walsh. This is a conversion into a single HTML page.
output: eug_html
make eug_htmlchunk
The HTML files are generated using xsltproc and the XSL stylesheets from
Norman Walsh. This is a conversion into chunked (multiple) HTML pages.
output: eug_html_chunked
make eug_pdf_us
make eug_pdf_a4
The PDF is generated using an intermediate format named XSL-FO (XSL
formatting objects). xsltproc converts the XML to a FO file, and then fop
(apache's formatting object processor) is used to generate the PDF document,
in US letter or A4 paper format.
TIPP: You will get lot's of INFO/WARNING/ERROR messages when generating pdf,
but conversation works just fine.
output: user-guide.pdf
make eug_chm
On Win32 platforms, the "famous" HTML help format can be generated by using a
special HTML chunked conversion and then use the htmlhelp compiler from
Microsoft.
output: htmlhelp.chm
Using the prefix edg_ instead of eug_ will build the same targets but for the
Ethereal Developer's Guide.
The makefile is written to be run with gmake on unix/linux platforms. Win32
platforms have to use the cygwin environment (Microsoft nmake is not
supported).
