Re: [docbook-apps] Re: Need to know the format of file path in build.xml - webhelp

Hi David :

I successfully went though it.

 
I haven't been able to reproduce that (on Ubuntu). Ant usually does ok

with spaces in paths and doesn't require you to escape spaces. What

environment are you running it in?

I'm using Ubuntu-11.10 32-bit version, Apache Ant(TM) version 1.8.2 compiled on August 19 2011 and docbook-xsl-1.76.1.

Can you explain that what is the difference between docbook-xsl-1.76.1 and docbook-xsl-snapshot ?

Btw., it won't change anything for this problem, but I would use the

latest snapshot release when working with webhelp:

http://snapshots.docbook.org/ Much has been updated and fixed.

 

I tried using  latest docbook-xsl-snapshot (30 March 2012) then it successfully validate the path but got stuck in another place ( build.xml -> 35 line);

Buildfile: /home/gihan/Installed-Programes/Programming/DocBook/Myfiles/build.xml

validate:

[xmlvalidate] 1 file(s) have been successfully validated.

clean:

   [delete] Deleting directory /home/gihan/Installed-Programes/Programming/DocBook/Myfiles/webout

chunk:

    [mkdir] Created dir: /home/gihan/Installed-Programes/Programming/DocBook/Myfiles/webout

BUILD FAILED

/home/gihan/Installed-Programes/Programming/DocBook/docbook-xsl-snapshot/webhelp/build.xml:35: stylesheet /home/gihan/Installed-Programes/Programming/DocBook/profiling/profile.xsl doesn't exist.

Total time: 1 minute 20 seconds

                     with the configurations in build.xml

<project>

  <property name="input-xml" value="/home/gihan/Installed-Programes/Programming/DocBook/Myfiles/test.xml"/>

  <property name="output-dir" value="/home/gihan/Installed-Programes/Programming/DocBook/Myfiles/webout"/>

  <import file="/home/gihan/Installed-Programes/Programming/DocBook/docbook-xsl-snapshot/webhelp/build.xml"/>

</project>

So, I moved files inside docbook-xsl-snapshot into DocBook and run "ant webhelp". Then it successfully created output.

Also I change the 'Myfiles' into 'My files' with a space. Then also it's worked perfectly.

Thank you David for your help !.
