The fpcdocs repository, run the "fixdocs.sh" scripts. Afaik for the lazarus there is no "blind" script. The dependencies are the same as html building. (latex,tex4ht) and fpdoc (I always use trunk when I can, sicne usually a few more small things are fixed ) There is the buildhtml.sh script, but some parameters and environmental variables need to be set. (CSS location, fpcdocs directory and HTMLFMT to CHM) > IMHO there should be a top level makefile target to easily build *all* > of them at once (btw: the same criticism [toplevel makefile target] > applies to Lazarus as well but at least there I can easily find the > folder with the lcl docs in the source tree) There is a toplevel shellscript. Should be close enough. I never committed the lazarus one (which is much shorter, since it only parameterizes an existing script) because it had hardcoded references to my dir layout. > Maybe I am missing something completely obvious but I just can't find > it and neither google nor the wiki was of much help (I don't even know > what exactly to search for) It is not documented, but it is not a secret either. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
