If you wish to create the API Design Guide in several formats, you must have installed and issue: make -C src/doc/design html pdf ps. To test the results, issue make check. All tests should pass. An easy way to look at the results of the tests is to issue grep -A1 ============== check.log (this is assuming you redirected the output from the tests to the indicated filename). Now, as the root user: make install && mv -v /usr/share/gnucash/doc /usr/share/doc/gnucash-&gnucash-version; && ln -v -s ../doc/gnucash-&gnucash-version; /usr/share/gnucash/doc && for FILENAME in doc/{misc*,gnome*,generic*,build*}.txt \ doc/{gtkrc*,TRANSLATION_HOWTO,README.translator.txt} \ doc/README.{build-system,OFX,HBCI} do install -v -m644 ${FILENAME} /usr/share/doc/gnucash-&gnucash-version; done && install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/gnucash-&gnucash-version;/api/engine && install -v -m644 src/doc/{TODO*,*.txt,*.html} \ /usr/share/doc/gnucash-&gnucash-version;/api && install -v -m644 src/engine/*.txt \ /usr/share/doc/gnucash-&gnucash-version;/api/engine If you built the API HTML or Design Guide documentation, issue the following commands (modified as necessary, depending on what docs are being installed) as the root user: install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/gnucash-&gnucash-version;/{design,api}/html && install -v -m644 src/doc/design/gnucash-design.html/* \ /usr/share/doc/gnucash-&gnucash-version;/design/html && install -v -m644 src/doc/design/gnucash-design.{pdf,ps,dvi} \ /usr/share/doc/gnucash-&gnucash-version;/design && install -v -m644 src/doc/html/* \ /usr/share/doc/gnucash-&gnucash-version;/api/html If you want to install the Help documentation system, you must have installed. Then unpack the additional tarball, change into the gnucash-docs-&gnucash-docs-version; source directory and issue the following commands as an unprivileged user: ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --localstatedir=/var/lib && make HTML versions of the Help Manual and Users Guide can be created if the DocBook XML tools are installed (, and ). A PDF version of the Users Guide can be created if you have and installed. Issue the following commands to create the documentation (modify as appropriate for your desires): make -C help html && make -C guide html && make -C guide pdf Now, as the root user: make install If you built the Help Manual or Users Guide, install them using the following commands as the root user (modify as necessary): install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/gnucash-&gnucash-docs-version;/{users_guide,help} && cp -v -R help/C/gnucash-help/* \ /usr/share/doc/gnucash-&gnucash-docs-version;/help && cp -v -R guide/C/gnucash-guide/* \ /usr/share/doc/gnucash-&gnucash-docs-version;/users_guide && install -v -m644 guide/C/gnucash-guide.pdf \ /usr/share/doc/gnucash-&gnucash-docs-version; Note that you must have installed in order to view the Help documents using the default GnuCash method. sed -i 's|xml::${sysconfdir}|xml::&gnome-etc-dir;|' configure: This command is used because the location of the GConf source database is hard-coded into the configure script as $sysconfdir/gconf (rendering the --with-gconf-source parameter useless). The modification ensures that the GConf database is properly updated while still allowing the package configuration files to be installed in /etc/gnucash. --sysconfdir=/etc: This installs configuration files in /etc/gnucash instead of /usr/etc/gnucash. --with-gconf-schema-file-dir=&gnome-etc-dir;/gconf/schemas: This parameter ensures that the GConf schema files are installed in the proper location instead of /etc/gconf. mv -v /usr/share/gnucash/doc /usr/share/doc/gnucash-&gnucash-version; and ln -v -s ../doc/gnucash-&gnucash-version; /usr/share/gnucash/doc: These commands are used to relocate the documentation files to the customary location and create a symbolic link to the original location. --enable-sql: This parameter is required if you want to build in SQL support using PostgreSQL. --enable-hbci: This parameter is required if you want to build in on-line banking support using AqBanking.
