Re: [docbook-apps] Installing Passivetex for Cygwin

[Patrick Eisenacher <eisenacher at fillmore-labs dot com>]

Carlos,

there is a thread in the Cygwin mailing list archives on how to do so. 
It starts here: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-05/msg00431.html

Follow its instructions and you'll get the docbook pdf toolchain working 
on Cygwin. I've attached the updated patch files that work with XmlTex 
2002-06-25 and PassiveTeX v1.24.

HTH,
Patrick
