1. Update on documentation builds on OSX w/ macports

   Florian G. Pflug <fgp@phlo.org> — 2011-10-20T00:02:09Z

   I've recently gotten annoyed again by the sorry state of docbook
   SGML support in macports, and finally decided to do something
   about it (OK, the fact that I recently deleted my Ubuntu VM,
   forgetting that one of the reasons I had it was to be able to
   build our docs has something to do with it also...)
   
   I've patched the ports for openjade, iso8879 and docbook-dsssl,
   and added a new port for docbook-sgml-4.2. These patches are sitting
   in the macports trac now, waiting to be applied.
   
   In the mean time, the modified ports are all contained in the
   attached tar.bz2, should any of ye fellow OSX users want to try them
   out before that.
   
   Simply extract that archive, and add
     file://<Absolute path to the extracted archive>
   to /opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf. After that, 
     port install openjade docbook-sgml-4.2
   should give you a working docbook SGML environment.
   
   Should openjade fail to build, try
     port install openjade -universal
   instead. On my machine, with XCode 4.2 installed, the universal variant
   of openjade fails to build for some reason.
   
   Many thanks to Bernd Helmle for his blog entry on the subject of
   docbook SGML and macports[1]. Without that, I probably would have
   created a new Ubuntu VM instead of playing with this.
   
   best regards,

   I'll try to take a look at them in the next couple days (with my
   MacPorts hat on), unless someone beats me to it.

   Very cool! Will test it tomorrow...

   And an effective hat that was! Thanks for cleaning up and applying
   all of those patches, Dan!
   
   Should someone want to try this out, beware that clang (at least
   the version shipped with XCode 4.2) doesn't like openjade. Also,
   universal builds of openjade seem to be broken. On my machine, I
   thus need to say
   
     port install openjade -universal configure.compiler=llvm-gcc-4.2
   
   instead of just
   
     port install openjade
   
   I've submitted a patch for that, so hopefully that problem too will
   go away in the near future.
   
   Anyway, after having installed openjade, a simple
   
     port install docbook-sgml-4.2
   
   should be enough to make our documentation build work.
