3 The manual is written in Docbook XML and requires a Unix-like
4 operating system with the standard GNU toolchain and xsltproc
5 or a similar XSLT processor to build the source XML into the
6 HTML that is shipped with the Zend Framework distributions.
8 On Windows, you can compile the docbook using Cygwin. See:
13 INSTALLATION FOR WINDOWS USERS
15 Installation steps for Cygwin:
16 1. Choose "Install from Internet", click [Next]
17 2. Choose the directory where you want to install Cygwin. Leave the other
18 options on their "RECOMMENDED" selection. Click [Next]
19 3. Select a directory where you want downloaded files to be stored. Click
21 4. Select your way of connecting to the Internet. Click [Next]
22 5. Choose the most suitable mirror in the mirrorlist. Click [Next]
23 6. Select the following packages from Devel or Libs to install:
27 All dependent packages will automatically be selected for you.
29 7. Sit back and relax while Cygwin and the selected packages are being
30 downloaded and installed. This may take a while.
31 8. Check the option "Create icon on Desktop" and "Add icon to Start Menu" to
32 your liking. Click [Finish].
36 BUILDING THE DOCUMENTATION (*NIX AND CYGWIN)
38 To build the documentation into HTML:
39 1. Go to a shell prompt, or Windows users will run Cygwin (you can double-click
40 the icon on the Desktop or in the Start menu if you've chosen any of these
41 options at install-time)
42 2. Navigate to the directory where the documentation files are stored using
43 the traditional Unix commands. For Cygwin users, drives are stored under
44 "/cygdrive". So if your documentation files are stored under
45 "c:\ZF\documentation", you'll need to run the command "cd c:/ZF/documentation/".
46 You're under a Unix environment, so don't forget all paths are case sensitive!
47 3. To compile the doc, go to the directory in which manual.xml is located and run:
56 If you're encountering errors while trying the build instructions above...
57 1. Remove all files from the html/ subdir except dbstyle.css
59 2. Remove all files from the root dir except manual.xml, configure.in,
60 Makefile.in and README. The important one here is entities.ent.
62 3. You can optionally remove the "/autom4te.cache" directory and the
63 "/build/docbook-xsl" directory
65 4. Try to build again following the instructions given above. If it still
66 throws errors, post a message to the fw-docs@lists.zend.com list.
