I thought while I was doing so I would see if I could get docbook building working on my Cygwin install. I seem to have gotten all the required packages installed and CMake will generate the docbook target, however, when I try to build I get a series of what seem to be font related errors regarding FreeSans, FreeSerif and FreeMono. I Installed texlive-collection-fontsextra package which includes all those fonts, but I'm still getting the same error messages. If anyone on this list is more familiar than me with the docbook build chain then any advice would be welcome. The errors I am getting are below - sorry they are so long, but I wasn't sure what was important.
Hi Phil: I suspect there is some packaging issue for these fonts on Cygwin. Here is the situation for these fonts on Debian: irwin@raven> apt-file search FreeSans.otf fonts-freefont-otf: /usr/share/fonts/opentype/freefont/FreeSans.otf texlive-fonts-extra: /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/gnu-freefont/FreeSans.otf irwin@raven> ls -l /usr/share/fonts/opentype/freefont/FreeSans.otf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 856800 May 21 2012 /usr/share/fonts/opentype/freefont/FreeSans.otf irwin@raven> ls -l /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/gnu-freefont/FreeSans.otf lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 54 Jul 29 2012 /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/gnu-freefont/FreeSans.otf -> ../../../../../../fonts/opentype/freefont/FreeSans.otf In other words, the tex version of the font file is simply a symlink to the file packaged in a different non-tex font package (fonts-freefont-otf). If that is the situation there, you might have dangling symlinks, i.e. the non-tex package actually containing the file is not installed yet. That required non-tex package is installed automatically by Debian because texlive-fonts-extra depends on fonts-freefont-otf, but it is possible the Cygwin packagers of texlive-collection-fontsextra forgot that package dependency so you will have to find that non-tex font package for yourself and install it. Another possible packaging issue is that tex needs Tex file-finding indices to be updated whenever files are added (even if just a symlink to the true location of the file). That should all be done automatically when you install the Cygwin texlive-collection-fontsextra package, but it is possible (although unlikely) that essential step was forgotten by the packager, and you would have to update that Tex index yourself. (Such a command exists but I have forgotten its name since such index update issues were straightened out for Debian packaging more than 10 years ago.) If non of the above works for you, or you don't have time to dig deeper into these possible tex packaging issues on Cygwin, then another possibility is to (locally) change to more mundane tex fonts (hopefully properly installed on Cygwin) by modifying doc/docbook/src/dblatex_stylesheet.xsl. See also remarks in doc/docbook/README.developers concerning this critical choice of fonts. It would be great if you could figure out a way to get the documentation built on Cygwin, but that has never been tried before so you even if you work around the above font issues, you might run into other showstoppers. So the alternative does exist to give up on the build and simply validate your results (using make validate) before committing them. Validation requires that you have onsgmls installed, but it appears from <https://cygwin.com/packages/> that is available to you. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
