As John Ralls pointed out, the proper way to check out the user documentation is
svn checkout http://code.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash-docs/trunk gnucash-docs Everything was almost smooth sailing from there. The first problem was that I didn't have the command xsltproc. The ./configure suggested that I should have libxslt installed. I already had it installed. It turned out that xsltproc was not in the libxslt package, but in a package of its own, called xsltproc. Is this a Debian testing peculiarity, or is it likely to be widespread? I can propose a patch to gnucash-docs/README to add xsltproc to the list of prerequisites, but I'd first like to know whether this is necessary in general, or just a Debian testing peculiarity. Anyway after that things went smoothly, and I got a lovely set of html documentation. I haven't tried to make epub yet, and it may be a while before I do. It seems to need calibre, and as far as I can tell at the moment, calibre on Debian testing is broken. I boot Debian stable when I need calibre to make epubs for my bookreader. Looking into this is an entirely different project from gnucash, and I can live without epub for the time being. -- hendrik _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
