Обсуждение: Patch: compiling the docs under Gentoo

Hi,

as a Gentoo user I had a hard time getting the documentation
compiled. Attached you will find a Patch explaining exactly this: how
to compile the documentation under Gentoo.

Best regards,

AFAICS this should be handled in config/docbook.m4 by adding
sgml/docbook/sgml-dtd-4.2 to the list already there.  Maybe a wildcard
could be used to avoid the version dependency, not sure.

This is wrong.  DOCBOOKSTYLE points to the DSSSL style sheets, not the
DTD.  The DTD should be found automatically using the SGML catalog
mechanism.  (That's something that the package system should manage.)

To be honest I noticed a few days ago that this is unnecessary. Just
installing the right packages already solved the problem, it was a
fallacy that setting DOCBOOKSTYLE did help.

I just didn't have had the time to send a new version of the patch,
yet…
