-This directory contains the source files needed to build the:
-
-Ethereal User's guide (almost ready to release, has to be reviewed)
-
-and the:
-
-Ethereal Developer's Guide (long time unchanged still a very early state).
-
-To build the User's Guide, just do 'make', but see requirements below.
-The Developer's Guide is currently not generated, as it has no content.
-
-
-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.
-Optional output formats are PDF and CHM.
-
-
-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
-
-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
-
-
-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 all output formats (see below).
-
-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
-
-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).
