Sure.  I think most people have moved to DocBook now though.

Where is Linuxdoc?  www.sgmltools.org seems to be down.

Hi,

It is there:
http://people.debian.org/~sano/linuxdoc-tools/

Daniel

Please take a look to check that the package I made is okay.
ftp://people.redhat.com/twaugh/tmp/linuxdoc-tools/

I can build the package but the program does not work.
If you try linuxdoc -o dvi xxx.sgml (whatever xxx.sgml is) it does not even want
to start.
Here I had 0.9.10 and it worked.

If you try sgml2latex for instance it complains also:
The best test examples are the one provided by the package by itself:
example.sgml and guide.sgml


[root@brest mini]# sgml2latex -o dvi RPM+Slackware.sgml 
Processing file RPM+Slackware.sgml
load_char_maps: no entity maps found
load_char_maps: no entity maps found
parse_data: no entity map for `urlnam'
This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.3.1)

The packaging in linuxdoc-tools seems to be even worse than sgml-tools was. :-(

'./configure --datadir=/tmp/... && make' fails in several different ways.  I 
have sent one large fix to the upstream maintainer.  The package still 
requires autoconf to build though(!).  If only they knew about automake..

Anyhow, please try the new package that I put in that directory.  It works for 
me with the examples you've given.

I have been looking in the director you specified. It is still the -1 package
over there. I downloaded it and tried it, in case of you simply had forgotten to
change it to -2, but it behaves the same than previously.
I came to the conclusion that this package is not the one you are referring to
in your last comment.

Daniel

Yes, it's -1 but with a newer timestamp.  Can you show me the command you are 
running and the output you get vs expect?

Hello. Here is what I got

[root@brest linuxdoc-tools-0.9.13]# 

Sorry. I was wrong.
I corrected what I wrote but I do not get a better result:

[root@brest i386]# linuxdoc --backend=latex -o dvi guide.sgml 
Processing file guide.sgml
Cannot find .//guide.SGML
[root@brest i386]# 

Is there a 'guide.sgml' in the 'i386' directory you're in?  A moment ago you 
were in 'linuxdoc-tools-0.9.13'...

Ooops....
Sorry. I was in the wrong directory... 

Now Linuxdoc works with the guide.sgml file
and sgml2latex works also.

After my lunchtime I will try with the .sgml files from Grace

Thanks for your help and once again, sorry for having misunderstood the commands
of linuxdoc

I tried with the .sgml of Xmgrace and it worked. So, for me, so far so good.
Thanks for your help.

One last thing that is important (in my opinion) is to mention in the next
release of RedHat that linuxdoc replaces now sgml-tools (it is pretty hard to
make a relation between these 2 packages just with the names...)

Thanks for your help.

Bye

Daniel

0.9.15-1 is in rawhide now.
