Docbook-related issues, directly and indirectly
Opened this issue · 3 comments
Hello,
This is mostly just a placeholder.
Trying to compile dconf ( http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/dconf/0.26/dconf-0.26.0.tar.xz ) on GoboLinux leads to this error:
make[1]: Entering directory '/Depot/Temp/dconf-0.26.0/docs'
GEN dconf-service.1
I/O error : Attempt to load network entity http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/manpages/docbook.xsl
warning: failed to load external entity "http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/manpages/docbook.xsl"

Somehow related to docbook. Docbook is a bit annoying to install IMO.
I'll try to have a look lateron.
As a rule of thumb, I always disable the creation of docs through Docbook. Some tools will let you pass --disable-docs, whereas at times it will be necessary to patch Makefile to prevent Docbook from running.
By the way, this package builds fine for me. Are you running 016.01? We have had a few Docbook related fixes from 016 to 016.01.
A new recipe and a binary package have been pushed to the server. Please let me know if you can get past this problem by running InstallPackage for DocBook-XML-DTD and DocBook-XSL-Stylesheets. In special, the PostInstall hook present on both packages should make sure you have a sane configuration. You should also have XML_CATALOG_FILES set to /Data/Variable/lib/xml/catalog (the packages shipped with 016.01 should do that).
