4 This text assumes the following directory structure:
6 Distribution text files (eg. AUTHORS, NEWS, ...):
15 Tool specific XML docs:
16 valgrind/<toolname>/docs/
18 All images used in the docs:
21 Stylesheets, catalogs, parsing/formatting scripts:
25 docs/xml/index.xml: Top-level book-set wrapper
26 docs/xml/FAQ.xml: The FAQ
27 docs/valgrind-manpage.xml The valgrind manpage
28 docs/xml/vg-entities.xml: Various strings, dates etc. used all over
29 docs/xml/xml_help.txt: Basic guide to common XML tags.
31 The docs/internals directory contains some useful high-level stuff about
32 Valgrind's internals. It's not relevant for the rest of this discussion.
37 The Documentation Set contains all books, articles, manpages,
38 etc. pertaining to Valgrind, and is designed to be built as:
44 The whole thing is a "book set", made up of multiple books (the user
45 manual, the FAQ, the tech-docs, the licenses). Each book could be
46 made individually, but the build system doesn't do that.
48 CSS: the style-sheet used by the docs is the same as that used by the
49 website (consistency is king). It might be worth doing a pre-build diff
50 to check whether the website stylesheet has changed.
55 It's not obvious exactly when things get built, and so on. Here's an
58 - The HTML docs can be built manually by running 'make html-docs' in
59 valgrind/docs/. (Don't use 'make html'; that is a valid built-in
60 automake target, but does nothing.) Likewise for PDF/PS with 'make
63 - 'make dist' (nb: at the top level, not in docs/) puts the XML files
64 into the tarball. It also builds the HTML docs and puts them in too,
65 in valgrind/docs/html/ (including style sheets, images, etc).
67 - 'make install' installs the HTML docs in
68 $(install)/share/doc/valgrind/html/, if they are present. (They will
69 be present if you are installing from the result of a 'make dist'.
70 They might not be present if you are developing in a Subversion
71 workspace and have not built them.) It doesn't install the XML docs,
72 as they're not useful installed.
74 If the XML processing tools ever mature enough to become standard, we
75 could just build the docs from XML when doing 'make install', which
79 Notes on building PDF / PS documents
80 ------------------------------------
81 Below are random notes and recollections about how to build PDF / PS
82 documents from the XML source at various times on various Linux distros.
87 On Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS the following is known to work:
97 Additional the following lines need to be changed in
98 /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/oberdiek/epstopdf-base.sty
103 \expandafter\PrependGraphicsExtensions
105 \expandafter\AppendGraphicsExtensions
114 %% \expandafter\PrependGraphicsExtensions
116 %% \expandafter\AppendGraphicsExtensions
120 This hack was devised by Mark Wielaard.
125 On Ubuntu 10.04 there was a new capacity-related failure whilst
126 building the print docs in the run up to the 3.8.0 release. This was
127 fixed by editing /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf and changing pool_size to
133 For Ubuntu 9.04, to build HTML docs I had to:
135 sudo apt-get install docbook docbook-xsl
137 Actually, I'm not sure if the 'docbook' is necessary, but 'docbook-xsl'
140 To build the man pages I also changed the Makefile.am to try this
143 /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/current/manpages/docbook.xsl
145 if it can't find this one:
147 /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/manpages/docbook.xsl
149 I haven't succeeded in building the print docs.
154 For SuSE 10.1, I have to install the following packages to get a
155 working toolchain. Non-indented ones I asked YaST to install;
156 indented ones are extras it added on:
161 docbook-dsssl-stylesheets
163 docbook-xsl-stylesheets
174 pdfxmltex still bombs when building the print docs. On SuSE 10.1 I
175 edited /etc/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf and changed
176 pool_size.pdfxmltex = 500000
178 pool_size.pdfxmltex = 1500000
181 It is also reported that the print docs build OK on Fedora Core 5.
186 After upgrading to Suse 10, found a (known) bug in PassiveTex which
187 broke the build, so added a bug-fix to 'docs/lib/vg-fo.xsl'.
188 Bug-fix related links:

196 jrs had to install zillions of packages on SuSE 9.2 in order to
197 build the print docs (make print-docs), including
199 xpdf (for pdftops, which does the nicest job)
201 Even then, pdfxmltex eventually dies with "TeX capacity exceeded,
202 sorry [pool size = 67555]" or some such. To fix this, he edited
203 /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf and changed
204 pool_size.pdfxmltex = 500000
206 pool_size.pdfxmltex = 1500000
212 - the end of file.xml must have only ONE newline after the last tag:
214 - pdfxmltex barfs if given a filename with an underscore in it
219 - samba have got all the stuff
