HI Peter, Bravo for this. The PDF stuff eventually should be XSL:FO with FOP, I think, because none of us now understand LateX; but I think it should all be doable using <exec> in ant; it'll have to branch depending on OS. Alternatively, you should shell out from ant to a small using <exec> Makefile as a temporary measure. Cheers, Martin On 15-09-24 02:31 AM, Peter Stadler wrote:
Dear all,
just an update on my work of antifying the build process of the Guidelines: * I more or less simply try to convert the current Makefile targets to ANT targets * I’m collecting all settings (params) in a build.properties file which can be overwritten by a local.build.properties file (which is excluded from version control) * during the build process, I’m creating a "build" folder for temporary stuff (currently, everything ends here). I envision to have a clean „dist“ folder in the end, where the to-be-distributed files are summoned, together with zipped archives. * so far I can create the Guidelines (Makefile target „teiwebsiteguidelines“) with all dependencies * leaves the hard stuff: PDF (via LaTeX) and various Tests …
