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.
86 Fedora 21 and 22: Had mucho trouble with building the print docs on
87 F21/22 even with the [Mar 2015] package set (or something similarish)
88 installed. Eventually installed "passivetex" and that fixes the
91 Installing the packages below on Fedora _might_ get you a working setup.
92 Also you need the epstopdf-base.sty hack detailed below.
94 texlive-xmltex texlive-xmltex-bin texlive-xmltex-doc texlive dblatex
95 texlive-xmltex docbook-style-xsl docbook-dtds docbook-style-xsl.noarch
96 docbook-simple.noarch docbook-simple.noarch docbook-slides.noarch
97 docbook-style-dsssl.noarch docbook-utils.noarch
98 docbook-utils-pdf.noarch docbook5-schemas.noarch
99 docbook5-style-xsl.noarch passivetex
103 On Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS the following is known to work:
113 Additional the following lines need to be changed in
114 /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/oberdiek/epstopdf-base.sty
119 \expandafter\PrependGraphicsExtensions
121 \expandafter\AppendGraphicsExtensions
130 %% \expandafter\PrependGraphicsExtensions
132 %% \expandafter\AppendGraphicsExtensions
136 This hack was devised by Mark Wielaard.
141 On Ubuntu 10.04 there was a new capacity-related failure whilst
142 building the print docs in the run up to the 3.8.0 release. This was
143 fixed by editing /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf and changing pool_size to
149 For Ubuntu 9.04, to build HTML docs I had to:
151 sudo apt-get install docbook docbook-xsl
153 Actually, I'm not sure if the 'docbook' is necessary, but 'docbook-xsl'
156 To build the man pages I also changed the Makefile.am to try this
159 /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/current/manpages/docbook.xsl
161 if it can't find this one:
163 /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/manpages/docbook.xsl
165 I haven't succeeded in building the print docs.
170 For SuSE 10.1, I have to install the following packages to get a
171 working toolchain. Non-indented ones I asked YaST to install;
172 indented ones are extras it added on:
177 docbook-dsssl-stylesheets
179 docbook-xsl-stylesheets
190 pdfxmltex still bombs when building the print docs. On SuSE 10.1 I
191 edited /etc/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf and changed
192 pool_size.pdfxmltex = 500000
194 pool_size.pdfxmltex = 1500000
197 It is also reported that the print docs build OK on Fedora Core 5.
202 After upgrading to Suse 10, found a (known) bug in PassiveTex which
203 broke the build, so added a bug-fix to 'docs/lib/vg-fo.xsl'.

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