[docs] jadetex stuck in endless loop
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
When building gstreamer with jhbuild, the documentation build is stuck in: make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/lool/cvs/gnome2/gstreamer/docs/pwg' *** Generating PS output *** cd build && docbook2ps -o .. pwg.xml Using catalogs: /etc/sgml/catalog Using stylesheet: /usr/share/docbook-utils/docbook-utils.dsl#print Working on: /home/lool/cvs/gnome2/gstreamer/docs/pwg/build/pwg.xml jade:/usr/share/sgml/declaration/xml.dcl:31:27:W: characters in the document character set with numbers exceeding 65535 not supported It seems an endless loop, when I kill jadetex from another shell (^C wont kill it), it outputs a fat list of pages it has generated. Other people on IRC reported getting this as well.
Quoting /usr/share/sgml/declaration/xml.dcl around line 31: DESCSET 0 9 UNUSED 9 2 9 11 2 UNUSED ... 65534 2 UNUSED -- FFFE and FFFF -- 65536 1048576 65536 -- 16 planes outside BMP -- (This last line is line 31.)
It's seems the warning and xml.dcl are completely irrelevant.
Are you using debian? If so, is this debian-specific?
I use Debian, and I wondered if it was Debian-specific too. I asked about that on IRC, someone with Debian had the same problem. I can't tell whether people with other distros are seing that as well.
If you want to do something weird, take the redhat package, rebuild it for debian and see if it's reproduceable. If not, file a bug to the debian jadetex package.
I tried really hard to bring rpm under Debian to work, but it's really deeply borken (I can't configure topdir or builddir in .rpmrc without rpm barking that it doesn't know about them and strange errors and debug output appears), so I tried doing the rpm stuff myself (call me "rpm"), and as I understand rpm it's something like: %prep %build %install %prep is defined as: %prep %setup -n gstreamer-%{version} Can't do very much here, let's see %build: %build %configure \ --enable-debug \ --with-cachedir=%{_localstatedir}/cache/gstreamer-%{majorminor} \ --disable-tests --disable-examples --disable-docs-build I stopped here: redhat doesn't ship documentation neither, probably for the same reason...
The bug is in jadetex. Commenting out the words "professional audio applications." in pwg/advanced-types.xml (line 344) makes it build fine. Probably an overflow in Debian's jadetex. Bug report submitted upstream by Jan.
Closing on request.
