meinproc4 problem

[Ralf Habacker]

Hi,

on windows compiling applications docs for example kate fails with the 
following message:

-----------------------------------------------
C:\daten\kde\emerge-msvc-root\tmp\kdesdk-20080202\work\msvc2005-Debug\doc\kate>nmake

The main problem is that the parser requires the reference dtd/kdex.dtd  
from the top of index.docbook
<!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//KDE//DTD DocBook XML V4.2-Based Variant 
V1.1//EN" "dtd/kdex.dtd" [

in the source directory of the input file  in this case

C:///downloads/kdesvn/trunk/KDE/kdesdk/doc/kate/dtd/kdex.dtd

To find out which files are missing I added some directories from 
kdelibs ksgmltools installation and saw that meinproc/libxslt does not 
find the ksgmltools installation tree - exactly the 
share/apps/ksgmltools2/docbook and some subdirecties from 
share/apps/ksgmltools2/customization.

If found meinproc4 running when I copied the above mentioned files into 
kate's doc source tree

 C:\downloads\kdesvn\trunk\KDE\kdesdk\doc
    docbook/         from ksgmltools2
    kate/
        dtd/             from ksgmltools2
        en/               from ksgmltools2
        entities/       from ksgmltools2

loading works with xsltproc using the above mentioned directory layout:

xsltproc --verbose --load-trace  
C:/downloads/kdesvn/trunk/KDE/kdesdk/doc/kate/index.docbook


but it looks to be impossible to use the original kdelibs installation 
directioy, for example adding

--path 
file:///C:/daten/kde/emerge-msvc-root/share/apps/ksgmltools2/customization


does not work.

Does anyone have an idea how to fix this issue ?
