Hello Patrick,
Thank you for the details!
I could not resist and was curious about applying your hints on the newest
available components. Here is what I discovered:
After downloading the newest available .zip archives of passivetex and
xmltex from
<http://www.tei-c.org.uk/Software/passivetex/>
and extracting your docbook.zip file you sent to the list
<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-05/msg00462.html>
I extracted Norman Walsh´s docbook-xsl-1.61.0 stylesheets (available at
<http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=21935>)
to /usr/local/lib/xml/stylesheets/docbook-xsl
and finally executed your script given in
<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-05/msg00461.html>.
The docbook dtd is in /usr/share/docbook-xml42 due to the previous
installation of Marcel Telkas
<http://telka.sk/docbook/xml42/docbook-xml42-4.2-1.tar.bz2> package.
The command
$ dbxml -t pdf thesis.xml
produces following output:
Making portrait pages on USletter paper (8.5inx11in)
This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.14159-1.10b (Web2C 7.4.5)
%&-line parsing enabled.
kpathsea: Running mktexfmt pdfxmltex.fmt
fmtutil: no info for format `pdfxmltex'.
I can't find the format file `pdfxmltex.fmt'!
I guess this is due to the not correctly applied patches to fmtutil.cnf you
mentioned. The file texmf.cnf is successfully patched like the script output
shows:
...
patching file /usr/share/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf
Hunk #1 succeeded at 43 with fuzz 1 (offset 5 lines).
Hunk #2 FAILED at 86.
1 out of 2 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/fmtutil
.cnf.rej
patching file /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
Hunk #4 succeeded at 167 (offset 1 line).
Hunk #5 succeeded at 474 (offset 11 lines).
...
Since I never dealt with patching I am quite lost here. Could the generated
fmtutil.cnf.rej file contain any interesting output that helps further
patching? I attached it...
Is this something cygwin specific?
The command stated above creates at least a fo file. It looks good at first
glance. On Monday I will check if it is valid and if I can process this
further.
Thank again!
Andreas
