I decided to try building an epub from my DocBook document, using epub3 .....
Following the instructions in the README.
Step 1. XSL (epub3/chunk.xsl) to generate Xhtml and other files.
That seems to work fine.
Step 2. Copy in any image files.
I wrote some XSL to scan package.opf and generate a batch file to do the
copy.
I don't think XSL (or Saxon) has a built-in ability to copy files, so I
build a batch file then run it.
Step 3. Zip it.
Ok, so I do the command as in the README -
zip -r -X mybook.epub mimetype META-INF OEBPS
And I get -
'zip' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or
batch file.
So - firstly, if referring to a program that isn't part of the operating
system, please explain exactly what is meant.
Anyway, I thought I recognized the syntax as Info-Zip's zip (I normally use
7-zip) so I set about getting a copy.
Ok, the download is FTP, which I haven't used for ages. So install Filezilla
and try and download an info-zip exe.
Eventually find an exe, from zip323xn. Add its folder to my Path.
Then run it ....
zip -r -X mybook.epub mimetype META-INF OEBPS
And now I get -
zip warning: multiple disk information ignored
<path-to>/Info-Zip/zip232xn/zip.exe: found a preamble of 20832 bytes
zip warning: name not matched: mybook.epub
zip I/O error: Permission denied
zip error: Could not create output file (<path-to>//Info-Zip/zip232xn/zip.exe)
Ok, so can someone tell me how to actually get this to work ?
And ......
Can 7-zip be used for this, if Info-zip's zip is going to give problems ?
I think I've seen somewhere that "mimetype" should be in the archive but not
compressed. Is this so ?
If so how do we get it not to compress certain files ?
Frustratedly,
Richard.
