Re: Is postgres.gif missing in cvs?

Hi,

I tried to run make postgres.pdf (PostgreSQL 8.3beta4), and got this
error:

cp ./../graphics/postgres.gif .
cp: cannot stat `./../graphics/postgres.gif': No such file or directory
make: *** [postgres.gif] Error 1

CVS/tarball does not include this file, and I think we should add.

You need to say "make postgres-US.pdf" or -A4. The .gif file is coming
from make's default rules. Perhaps we should provide a real target
matching postgres.pdf and error out with a helpful message as this isn't
the first time people have been bitten by that change.

No, the reason for that error message is that it is trying to generate
postgres.pdf from postgres.gif. Try "make postgres-A4.pdf" or
postgres-US.pdf instead.

Oh, thanks :)

I got some SGML errors:

https://devrim.privatepaste.com/501oMnwCYw

I could fix them; but both the errors and the line numbers seemed very
irrelevant to me. Can someone please take a look at it?

Hmph. What version of the SGML tools are you using? It seems more
prone to get confused by non-entity-ized '<' and '>' than what the
rest of us are using.

The ones supplied with Fedora 8.

sgml-common: 0.6.3
openjada: 1.3.2

I'm not totally au fait with the rules of SGML. Does it allow literal
'<' in text nodes? In most places I looked in our docs we seem to use
'&lt;' as I would have expected.

Those are the same version numbers I see in Fedora 6, which doesn't
behave like that ... Anyway, I've committed some cleanup in HEAD.

It appears to me that the tools will silently take < (and also &)
as literal characters, *if* what follows them happens to not look
too much like a tag or entity :-(. Pretty ugly. The particular
cases that were biting Devrim seemed to all be occurrences of <>
which perhaps is an allowed tag in his release.

I found out that -wxml will cause openjade to warn about these cases.
It turns on a boatload of other warnings that we probably don't care
about, so I'm not going to recommend using it by default, but it
enabled me to find a lot of problem spots just now.

Oh, another interesting behavior that was turned up by this ---
apparently you can get away with leaving off the ";" in "&lt;",
because we had done so in a few places. -wxml catches that too.

Thanks. Now, we have some more warnings/errors:

http://www.gunduz.org/postgresql/postgres-A4.log.gz

I can reproduce this on Fedora-8 and CentOS 5.1 (which is more or less
like Fedora 6).

You need bigger TeX settings. Please read "Building the Documentation".

Thanks for the info. Apparently, those values are not enough. I'm still
trying to build pdf on my box.

BTW, I'll be happier if someone else can build the pdf from CVS head...
I'm planning to add that PDF to the RPMs...

<> means whatever the last opening tag was (much like </>). So it should
definitely be escaped.

I have applied the attached patch to give a helpful message if you try
to create postgres.ps or postgres.pdf.

I have corrected this to use $(MAKE) instead of gmake, because the latter
might not be available.

Oh, yea. Changed to:

$(error Use postgres-US.pdf or postgres-A4.pdf as a target)

Ah, I see you improved it even more. Great.
