Dear Graeme
I do understand your frustration.
It's like you guys are deliberately being obstructive!
Denys Duchier mentioned in an email already back in 2003 that Oz
doc is a "relic of the
past" (http://www.mozart-oz.org/lists/oz-users/5071.html).
Although Denys says that ozdoc is easy to use for own documentation
files, it appears this is not the case with the Mozart
documentation itself. For example, it seems it requires an nsgmls
installation. Has anyone an idea how to render (parts of) the
Mozart documentation without "any frills" (e.g., only HTML)?
Anyway, Graeme, I was also not able to render the documentation.
Nevertheless, I did some minor documentation edits myself. I simply
changed the SGML files without any rendering. Others later did the
rendering into the various supported formats.
Do you feel this could be a suitable approach for yourself?
No, I'm afraid not. I want to be able to work for long periods of
time disconnected from the net and not asking anyone's permission to
do a complete rebuild.
You are of course welcome to build it yourself.
You will need at least the following tools:
Mozart (with contribs; at least gdbm, doc/SGML and os)
emacs
nsgmls
LaTeX (latex makeindex bibtex) with packages: mathptm, times,
pstricks, pst-node, pifont, rotate and epsfig
dvips
Perl
Java
pnmcrop pnmscale pnmquant pnmtopng
gs
It will also probably be possible to use the build system only on
Linux/Mac OS X/Unix as the Makefile uses mkfifo, etc. that are
probably not available on cygwin/mingw.
For packaging Mozart on windows, the whole system is built on cygwin
except for the documentation, which is built on a Linux machine, then
moved to windows for running the script that creates chm files for
windows doc. So you will need a unix machine for building the doc.
It just so happens that I have a dual-boot Linux/XP Pro box with Cygwin
installed. :-)

Cheers to you too, Boriss!
Graeme.
LaTeX is needed even to build the HTML docs as it is used to render
the mathematical equations (I forgot about that in my previous email).
Feel free to ask about any error you may get as it seems that nobody
knows the exact dependencies needed to build the documentation.
Cheers,
Yves
The Mozart community would certainly welcome any English-language
proofreading of the documentation.
Yeah, well, my intentions were certainly there, but I wanted to see
the thing build successfully before committing my time to going
through the pain of multiple-times
negotiations and net traffic exposure.
I also don't want, any more than necessary, to be dependent on
anyone else's good will in order to achieve what I set out to do.
Best
Torsten
Regards, Graeme.
