Makefile (Was Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: Generating CHM HTML Help files fromDocBook?)

Michael,

Sure... here it is, with the following provisos:

  1. I am by no means a Makefile expert, so there may be better ways to do
     what I do (and if there are, I'd love to hear them).

  2. Unfortunately, I just noticed that creation of the tarballs, etc. is 
     still off in another script. (Translation: the next version of our
     product isn't going public yet, so I haven't gotten around to updating
     the Makefile.  Previously I had everything in separate scripts, then
     I started centralizing it all into one makefile.) I am attaching the
     update-org script as well, although it obviously works just for our site.

You will also note that to create the XML file from the SGML file, I use
another file called "header.xml" which I have also attached.  If you look
at it:

  <?xml version="1.0"?>
  <!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN"
  "/usr/share/sgml/docbook/xml-dtd-4.1.2/docbookx.dtd"[

you will notice that I end it with '['.  I do this because the next
part of my header for both SGML and XML has a series of entity 
references that I use throughout the document.  If you don't use
entities, you'll want to change that header.  The sed line was actually
something a sed guru in my local LUG came up with and I tweaked a bit.

I also used a pathname to the DocBook DTD because I frequently work offline
and therefore the parser cannot get to the DTD across the Internet. You
may need to change that to the appropriate path or the URL.

Have fun,
Dan
