-----------------------------------------------------------------
I tried $PWD/configure under cygwin, and so it generates PATH
values, like (chapters.ent):
<!ENTITY appendices.about
SYSTEM "/cygdrive/g/phpcvs/phpdoc/en/appendices/about.xml">
One error, I have seen:
<!ENTITY global.function-index SYSTEM "./funcindex.xml">
It's not absolute! Well, this is not the only problem.
/cgiwin kind of paths only work inside cygwin, so using
an external tool, like jade, nsgmls or saxon, these
path values are unuseable. This means a generated
missing-entities file with missing language-defs, and
all the [non-cygwin] software are unable to handle these
kind of path values, so no transformation can be done
this way...
-----------------------------------------------------------------
So then I tried absolute path in a mixed Unix/Win style:
g:/phpcvs/phpdoc/configure
It gives errors of this kind:
| sed: can't read g: No such file or directory
| sed: can't read g:/phpcvs/phpdoc//phpcvs/phpdoc/./chmonly.xml.in:
| No such file or directory
| creating ./dsssl/common.dsl
| sed: can't read g: No such file or directory
| sed: can't read g:/phpcvs/phpdoc//phpcvs/phpdoc/./dsssl/common.dsl.in:
| No such file or directory
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Finally I tried Windows type paths in cygwin, and I have got
these results:
| $ g:\phpcvs\phpdoc\configure
| bash: g:phpcvsphpdocconfigure: command not found
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The conclusion is I can't manage to find a solution to generate
proper path values into chapters.ent and proper path values
into other files generated by configure.
