Attached is a patch to the gnucash-docs HACKING file where I have added text to explain where to obtain the tools for the fop tool chain for pdf generation.

The following is based on a Linux Fedora Core 7 installation. + +Required: + + 1. docbook-xsl >= 1.74.0 + + available at: http://docbook.sourceforge.net + + Follow the first link to the download site, then choose the "docbook-xsl" + package. I can find nothing specific about installation, but I think the + preferred place to unpack the package is in /usr/local/share. + + Note the location of the file 'docbook.xsl'. Point to it by assigning it + to an environment variable DOCBOOK_XSL. In this case, for csh or tcsh users: + + setenv DOCBOOK_XSL /usr/local/share/docbook-xsl-1.74.0/fo/docbook.xsl + + or for sh or bash users: + + export DOCBOOK_XSL=/usr/local/share/docbook-xsl-1.74.0/fo/docbook.xsl + + (Note: I find the www.docbook.org site very confusing--full of circular + references to the source of the docbook xml style sheets, but no specific + link that is easily found.) + + 2.
