To make all the versions (which it will try to install into ~/public_html/media/public/cll_build/ ) do: ./cll_build This takes quite a while. To do it for just one chapter for faster testing: ./cll_build -t chapters/05.xml This does the whole book but is also much faster: ./cll_build -t There are many possible sub-targets as well, which are specified with -T, such as: ./cll_build -t -T prince_pdf You can get a complete list of targets via: ./cll_build -h Requirements ------------ Getting this all working is actually a pretty huge undertaking; you're almost certainly better off asking Robin Lee Powell for an account on the appropriate server. General/HTML ------------ xsltproc xmlto Normal linux tools probably like tar. You definitely need wget, in particular. The actual docbook packages (i.e. the docbook 5.0 XSLT stuff) Ruby All the Ruby gems mentioned in Gemfile; in fact the normal way to do this sort of thing is: $ gem install bundler $ bundle install and that should get all the dependencies for you (although I (rlpowell) don't do it that way myself, so this is untested by me and you might have to do "bundle exec ..." with your build commands or something; regardless, there's only like 3 gem dependencies).
