Preparing your system

  1. Have you installed openSUSE on your computer? :)
  2. Add the following openSUSE Build Repository to YaST (or any other tool). Use this link, depending on your openSUSE version:
    http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/thomas-schraitle/openSUSE_10.2/
  3. Install susedoc and subversion and let YaST (or any other tool) resolve dependencies.


Preparing your check out

  1. Open a shell and change the directory where you have enough space. See also Subversion Instructions for more detailed instructions. For example ($ is the shell prompt):
    $ cd /local/; mkdir doc 
  2. Check out the XML sources (probably svn asks you about a certificate or something):
    $ svn co https://forgesvn1.novell.com/svn/xslfobook/trunk xslfobook


Building the book

  1. Open a shell and change the directory to:
    $ cd /local/doc/xslfobook/books/en
  2. Source the ENV-xslfo file (do not omit the dot!):
    $ . ENV-xslfo
  3. Validate the book
    $ make validate
  4. Build a PDF:
    $ make
  5. Enjoy! :-)
