DocBook under CygWin

DocBook under CygWin

[mike]

There are various tools for creating and processing DocBook documents
under Linux.  Has anyone got these to run on CygWin yet?  Anything
special I'd need to know to build them?

(DocBook is an XML or SGML DTD for marking up technical documents, used
for example to create the Linux HOWTOs.  You can postprocess it into
different formats like HTML, Postscript and PDF.  I need to write some
documentation using it and it would be handy to be able to work with it
in whatever OS I was running at the moment.)

First thing: check THIS: 
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/hoenicka_markus/cygbook1.html

Somewhere in there, I believe, it is stated that there are problems because 
Cygwin doesn't (yet) have full wide-character support.  This requires 
patches somewhere but it /has/ been done.

Sorry if I sound vague about it - my train of thought jumped the track.

Just to clarify: the problem you mention is the locale support of
OpenJade. The Cygwin version has to be built without locale support.

Besides this problem, recent development versions of OpenJade just
stackdump on Cygwin before they do anything useful. So for the time
being (i.e. until genius strikes me or someone else) you will have to
use the latest "stable" release which is used in the tutorial
mentioned above.

regards,
Markus
