Description Jacob Perkins 2002-08-21 12:30:13 UTC
I'm making an ebuild for libgcrypt-1.1.8, and it is trying to find
'docbook-to-man' in configure. docbook2X seems to be what it needs, and it has
'docbook2man' but no 'docbook-to-man'. I'm trying it with a link right now, but
the check just freezes and doesn't do anything, so I don't think a link is what
it needs. Anyway, I'm not sure what can be done, but just wanted to let someone
know that libgcrypt wants docbook-to-man.

It isn't included in that package.  It is a separate package itself.  You can
get the source+patch which allows it to be built on linux here:

http://packages.debian.org/unstable/text/docbook-to-man.html
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/docbook-to-man/docbook-to-man_2.0.0.orig.tar.gz
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/docbook-to-man/docbook-to-man_2.0.0-10.diff.gz

The actual homepage for these tools is here:

http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/docbook/tools/dtm/

I'd recommend using the patch from debian and contribute a new ebuild for those
tools.  I hand compiled and installed it, it only took 10 minutes to get things
squared away.  Basically, you just have to make sure that the locations of the
stuff it is looking for is correct.

actually, both of you:

docboox2X installs /usr/bin/docbook2man among other things, as does
docbook-sgml-utils

no need for patches or any of that.
