Hi DocBook peoples,
I have just joined this mailing list and have downloaded all the DocBook
source archives from the SOURCES directory. I am running an old
slackware distribution on a 486. It is not a an RPM based system so I
need to to compile and install all the tools. There is no manual
INSTALL file to tell me what to do so I guess I'll just have to wing
it. If anyone has got any tips or suggestions then I would appreciate
it. I've printed the tutorial and it has an installation section which
basically says to use "rpm --install" on all the rpm files (Doh !!).
Can anyone tell me where these packages are supposed to live on the
filesystem (eg. /usr/local/docbook).
Do they all live it the same place or does each package live in its own
seperate directory. (eg. /usr/local/jade, /usr/local/jadetex,
/usr/local/docbook, ...)
Please advise. An INSTALL file for RPM and non RPM based systems would
be nice. If no one is prepared to write one than I could whip something
together and post it to the list.
Thanks,
Brendan Simon.
