Обсуждение: compiling the man-pages
When I was compiling the sgml man-pages, I got some messages like: onsgmls refentry.sgml ./ref/declare.sgml \ | sgmlspl /usr/local/share/sgml/docbook2X/docbook2man-spec.pl --lowercase --section l onsgmls:/usr/local/share/sgml/docbook/4.1/catalog:22:0:W: DTDDECL catalog entries are not supported onsgmls:./ref/declare.sgml:256:19:X: reference to non-existent ID "SQL-BEGIN" onsgmls:./ref/declare.sgml:194:18:X: reference to non-existent ID "SQL-FETCH" onsgmls:./ref/declare.sgml:257:40:X: reference to non-existent ID "SQL-COMMIT-TITLE" onsgmls:./ref/declare.sgml:259:42:X: reference to non-existent ID "SQL-ROLLBACK-TITLE" onsgmls:./ref/declare.sgml:257:19:X: reference to non-existent ID "SQL-COMMIT" onsgmls:./ref/declare.sgml:259:19:X: reference to non-existent ID "SQL-ROLLBACK" onsgmls:./ref/declare.sgml:256:39:X: reference to non-existent ID "SQL-BEGIN-TITLE" onsgmls:./ref/declare.sgml:194:38:X: reference to non-existent ID "SQL-FETCH-TITLE" Are these messages normal or what did I miss? I was in the doc/src/sgml directory and I ran "make man". The man-pages looked ok anyway. -- -------- Robert B.

The first time all the cross-references will be undefined but the links are recorded in the file manpage.refs. The second time whenever a cross-reference is encountered the correct link will be inserted into the file. (This is similar to how LaTeX operates.) So yes, it is normal to see a lot of noise like this. You will notice, however, that even if you run this many times the warnings/errors will not go away completely. This is a missing feature in the docbook2man script, but it can be patched. The man pages will still look okay with the exception that occasionally where you would like something like "see also CREATE TABLE" you will get "see also [XRef to SQL-CREATE-TABLE]". -- Peter Eisentraut peter_e@gmx.net http://yi.org/peter-e/

Scrap this explanation. It's accurate, but it doesn't explain what you are seeing. The reason for the messages you get is that nsgmls is run on each file separately, so when it sees an xref that's in a different file it complains. Since nsgmls doesn't do any formatting, just parsing, this is not a fatal condition, and indeed docbook2man copes with it (via the manpages.refs file). I've been working with different makefile rules recently that don't produce these messages anymore and run a lot faster. I'll commit them sometime this weekend. -- Peter Eisentraut peter_e@gmx.net http://yi.org/peter-e/
