Second attempt, remembering to tell this darn webmail interface _not_ to spray HTML all over my email. (I switched it off as a global option, dunno why it keeps ignoring that.)
For some reason, the most recent lxc release really doesn't want to install the pregenerated copies of the man pages in the doc directory. I did a configure, make, and make install on it (installing the two prerequisite packages it wanted), it installed into /usr/local (fine), but the man pages aren't there. sudo find / -xdev -name "lxc-kill*" found the installed binary and the man page in the source directory, even after I went into the "doc" subdirectory and did a make install in there. Is this expected behavior? It _has_ them, it just won't _install_ them. "./configure --help" shows an "--enable-doc" option which complains about docbook2man not being installed. (Why couldn't it just probe for that in ./configure and enable the docs if it finds them? Why couldn't it just install the pregenerated copies it ships with? And why is ./configure claiming to generate sgml files after I install ubuntu 10.04's docbook-utils package? Surely that's make's job, not configure's?) Unfortunately, that configure option just gives a build break. Doing a make after configuring with --enable-doc (and installing the docbook-utils package to make it happy) dies with: docbook2man -w all lxc-create.sgml Using catalogs: /etc/sgml/catalog Using stylesheet: /usr/share/docbook-utils/docbook-utils.dsl#print Working on: /home/landley/lxc-0.7.3/doc/lxc-create.sgml nsgmls:/home/landley/lxc-0.7.3/doc/lxc-create.sgml:26:63:W: cannot generate system identifier for public text "-//Davenport//DTD DocBook V3.0//EN" nsgmls:/home/landley/lxc-0.7.3/doc/lxc-create.sgml:30:0:E: reference to entity "REFENTRY" for which no system identifier could be generated nsgmls:/home/landley/lxc-0.7.3/doc/lxc-create.sgml:26:0: entity was defined here nsgmls:/home/landley/lxc-0.7.3/doc/lxc-create.sgml:30:0:E: DTD did not contain element declaration for document type name And so on for several more pages. Building the package itself was fairly easy. Getting the man pages to install requires copying them over by hand: for i in $(cd doc; ls *.[0-9]) do NUMBER=$(echo "$i" | sed 's/.*\(.\)$/\1/') cp doc/$i /usr/local/man/man$NUMBER/$i done Rob ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lotusphere 2011 Register now for Lotusphere 2011 and learn how to connect the dots, take your collaborative environment to the next level, and enter the era of Social Business. http://p.sf.net/sfu/lotusphere-d2d _______________________________________________ Lxc-devel mailing list Lxc-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/lxc-devel
