John, The wiki page (http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Documentation_Update_Instructions <http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Documentation_Update_Instructions>) gives different commands than these. Specifically, the commands for the docs are listed there as:
cd docs/guide/C xmllint --valid --noout gnucash-guide.xml xsltproc -o ../../../output_html/ ../../xsl/general-customization.xsl gnucash-guide.xml cd docs/help/C xmllint --valid --noout gnucash-help.xml xsltproc -o ../../../output_html/ ../../xsl/general-customization.xsl gnucash-help.xml Perhaps you were crossing up the application compilation with the docs compilation?
