Build system [patch]
by Torinthiel 13 Jan '04

13 Jan '04

Ok, here is the newest wersion of my build system patch. It incudes newest sync, so applies cleanly on todays CVS. And I get more info it is needed - you place the DTD in /usr/share/sgml/docbook/dtd/xml/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd, on Cygwin it is in usr/share/docbook-xml42/docbookx.dtd, on PLD in /usr/share/sgml/docbook/xml-dtd-4.1.2/docbookx.dtd, on Gentoo in /usr/share/sgml/docbook/xml-dtd-4.1.2/docbookx.dtd So it's getting more and more needed. Please test and comment, I'll apply when it's acceptable.
