[Gnash-dev] report pdf build + [PATCH] for doc system

[Patrice Dumas]

Hello,

I succeeded in generating the pdf with pdfxml on a fedora core devel.
I had to install xmltex and passivetex. The configure checks have nothing
ready to verify if passivetex is there, but I don't think it is an issue,
and it would be quite messy to achieve since there is no executable to 
check for but a file in a tex directory.

There are 2 kinds of errors when generating the .pdf from .fo:


! Missing number, treated as zero.
<to be read again> 
                   p
l.1553 ...n-width="proportional-column-width(2)"/>
                                                  <fo:table-column column-nu...
?
! Illegal unit of measure (pt inserted).
                   p
l.1553 ...n-width="proportional-column-width(2)"/>
                                                  <fo:table-column column-nu...


and:

! LaTeX Error: Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
 ...                                              
                                                  
l.2508 ...um="0.8em" space-after.maximum="1.2em"/>

repeating for 
l.3000 ...um="0.8em" space-after.maximum="1.2em"/>
l.3344 ...um="0.8em" space-after.maximum="1.2em"/>
l.6182 ...um="0.8em" space-after.maximum="1.2em"/>

Those errors may well be out of gnash. Overall the manual don't look bad.



I attach a patch that tries to clean a bit the docbook pdf related stuff:

* doc/C/Makefile.am:
  remove STYLESDIR, use directly $(docbook_styles)
  add gnash.fo to cleaned files
  simplify rules and conditionals mixing with ENABLE_XMLTEX
* macros/docbook.m4:
  don't cache what is set with --with-docbook-styles, but cache the
  docbook path found automatically.
  Check for sun's Java only if fop is found.
  Comment out unused automake conditionals.
  don't set the automake conditionals if docbook dir hasn't been found.
  warn about pdf only if fop and pdfxml aren't available.
