I've recently gotten annoyed again by the sorry state of docbook SGML support in macports, and finally decided to do something about it (OK, the fact that I recently deleted my Ubuntu VM, forgetting that one of the reasons I had it was to be able to build our docs has something to do with it also...)
I've patched the ports for openjade, iso8879 and docbook-dsssl, and added a new port for docbook-sgml-4.2. These patches are sitting in the macports trac now, waiting to be applied. In the mean time, the modified ports are all contained in the attached tar.bz2, should any of ye fellow OSX users want to try them out before that. Simply extract that archive, and add file://<Absolute path to the extracted archive> to /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf. After that, port install openjade docbook-sgml-4.2 should give you a working docbook SGML environment. Should openjade fail to build, try port install openjade -universal instead. On my machine, with XCode 4.2 installed, the universal variant of openjade fails to build for some reason. Many thanks to Bernd Helmle for his blog entry on the subject of docbook SGML and macports[1]. Without that, I probably would have created a new Ubuntu VM instead of playing with this. best regards, Florian Pflug [1] http://psoos.blogspot.com/2009/09/building-postgresql-documentation-on.html
