Jeremy, one thing is you don't actually need xmlto because you can download prebuilt documentation for git (manpages and htmldocs). However, xmlto requires a few tools which it doesn't tell you about explicitly. You'll need libxslt, and both the docbook xsl stylesheets and docbook xml dtd. All three are in blfs: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/general/libxslt.html http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/pst/xml.html#DocBook http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/pst/docbook-xsl.html I install them _slightly_ differently than BLFS, but I think they should work the way it says in the book. There's also a bit of brokenness in xmlto wrt it's use of find. I apply this sed: sed -i.bak 's/-type d -maxdepth 1/-maxdepth 1 -type d/' xmlto.in -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
