Building the Documentation

Follow these instructions to build the Cygwin/X documentation source code:

  1. Open a shell on your documentation build host; you should see a window like the following:

    
Username@CygwinHost ~
    $ 
    
  2. Change the current directory to the documentation source code directory:

    
Username@CygwinHost ~
    $ cd cygwin-x-doc-1.0.0
    
    Username@CygwinHost ~/cygwin-x-doc-1.0.0
    $ 
    
  3. Create a build directory and change the current directory to that directory:

    
Username@CygwinHost ~/cygwin-x-doc-1.0.0
    $ mkdir build
    
    Username@CygwinHost ~/cygwin-x-doc-1.0.0
    $ cd build
    
    Username@CygwinHost ~/cygwin-x-doc-1.0.0/build
    $ 
    
  4. Configure the documentation source code:

    
Username@CygwinHost ~/cygwin-x-doc-1.0.0/build
    $ ../configure
    

    Note: Use ./configure --enable-hardcopy to enable building of all documentation formats, otherwise just HTML will be built

  5. Build the documentation:

    
Username@CygwinHost ~/cygwin-x-doc-1.0.0/build
    $ make all
    
  6. Building the documentation is now complete.
