Peter Högfeldt 2001-04-27 A HOWTO for building books for printing ------------------------------------- Note: Books are also built automatically by a daily build script. That is the only safe way to build books. Note: Manual handling of dependency files has been removed. 1. To build a book, ug say, in pdf format with a frame, be sure to have a clean view, and run i) clearmake -V clean ii) clearmake -V depend iii) clearmake -V ug.frame.pdf You can build the following variants: ug.ps, ug.pdf, ug.frame.ps, ug.frame.pdf, ug.crop.ps, and ug.crop.pdf. To build all frame.pdf and crop.pdf books replace iii) by iii) clearmake -V release_books TESTROOT=/some/dest/dir and you will get all books in /some/dest/dir. 2. To change the contents of a book you have to: i) Edit the sgml book file, e.g. ug.sgml. ii) Do the corresponding changes in the Makefile (if needed).
