Hi folks, [Please Reply All as Cygwin mail blocked by ISP]
Scallywag job failing complaining about TeX fonts.
Any ideas about what extra TeX font dependencies dblatex requires under
gtk-doc building docs for gsasl 2.2 under playground:
https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/jobs.cgi?id=4618
https://github.com/cygwin/scallywag/actions/runs/3148865611/jobs/5119913953
Googling the first error message leads me to suggest
texlive-collection-fontsrecommended
Thanks Jon,
I planned to add that and ...extra, but shouldn't presumably required fonts be
TeX/LaTex/dblatex package dependencies, when not mentioned anywhere in
downstream packages, including in build scripts on other systems?
I don't think so. TeX/LaTeX/dblatex can't know what fonts are going to be
required to build documentation for other packages.
How are maintainers and users expected to make the connection, if nobody
mentions you need special "unrelated" font packages, in any of the downstream
packages?
For example, for DbLaTeX, only the Windows install page mentions MikTeX fonts,
and there appears to be no other link between the abstract font specs, the TeX
fonts used, and packages required, although there appear to be mentions of
DejaVu "system" fonts, so do non-TeX font packages also need installed e.g.
dejavu-fonts or urw-base35-fonts{,-legacy}?
Those who are not TeXies need a few more hints.
gsasl should tell you what fonts are required to build its documentation. Since
it apparently doesn't (I haven't checked), you have to go by the error messages.
The first error message I see in the log is
! I can't find file `pzdr'
followed shortly by
...failed to make pzdr.tfm.
Searching Cygwin packages for 'pzdr', you find that pzdr.tfm is in
texlive-collection-fontsrecommended. So you add the latter to BUILD_REQUIRES
and try again. If there are still error messages about missing fonts, repeat
the process.
I don't know any other way to do it.
