Jim, can you update the automated scripts and, Henning, > you can modify the Makefile now. building into build/$LANG directory works fine for bigmanual.html with a small modification of the Makefile but when for buidling the manual with multiple chunks the file stylesheets/html/chunk.xsl is used, the place where the chunks are build is hardcoded in there. There are Multiple solutions to this: - dynamically generate the chunk.xsl within the configure Script from an chunk.xsl.in file and making it point to the "right" language build dir - making a copy of the chunk.xsl as chunk.$lang.xsl in the stylesheets/html directory for each language and changing the makefile that it would use the appropriate chunk.xsl. I think first possibility is best, but I wonder where I have to place the generated chunk.xsl and the .in file it is generated from as the stylesheets used are not part of the cvs tree. Does the chunk.xsl.in then belong to James' GTK Stylesheet package or do i have to put it into the cvs tree? Would it not be better to have the stylesheets in cvs, too? In Fact, I tried to build the manual from outside the tree like Jim described, but it didn't work at all, the configure script stops with loads of missing files henning -- Henning Sprang , henning@sprang.de, http://www.sprang.de/
