Building Documentation Yourself
Docteam documents are built with GNU make.
If you set up your svn repository according to DocteamStepByStepRepository, then the makefiles required for building the GNOME and KDE docs are in ubuntu-doc/gnome and ubuntu-doc/kde respectively.
To build the docs, open a terminal and change to the appropriate directory (either ubuntu-doc/gnome or ubuntu-doc/kde). The tables below show which commands to use to build a specific document or group of documents. You will need to following packages installed: make, docbook-xsl.
Note: These documents are all available on DocteamProjects.
Note: You will see a lot of errors like the following:
No localization exists for "c" or "". Using default "en".
It is due to document language setting. In the document, it is mentioned as "&EnglishAmerican;". This variable is defined in ubuntu-doc/libs/global.ent file. If you are worried about this error, you can edit the document and set it as "en". Anyhow, you need not worry about this error; it does not affect the output.
