Hi Michael,

This looks very much like a non existing or broken XML catalog. The processor looks up the installed stylesheets on your harddisk by using the mapping in the catalog.

A catalog can look like this:

<!DOCTYPE catalog PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD XML Catalogs V1.0//EN" "file:///usr/share/xml/schema/xml-core/catalog.dtd" >
catalog="file:///etc/xml/scrollkeeper.xml"/ > >

catalog="file:///etc/xml/docbook-xml.xml"/ >

This one delegates to other catalog files in the system to lookup the stylesheets. I can't explain every detail here, because this will probably fill a chapter in a book.

Unfortunately, I don't know how a correct XML catalog will look like on a MS Windows system. Maybe some others can help here?

Sorry my email program has been broken, so i can not refer in the used way to Your response.

i had created a catalog.xml and i've set the environment variable XML_CATALOG_FILES=c:\msys\1.0\etc\catalog.xml i had made uri statements for each (while autogen) missing xsl file... but without the "--with-xsl" statement it doesn't work.

so i run: $ ./autogen.sh --without-gimp --with-xsl=c:/msys/1.0/usr/share/xml/docbook-xsl-1.69.1

i get the error: configure: error: ** Couldn't find docbook.xsl in c:/msys/1.0/usr/share/xml/docbook-xsl-1.69.1/xhtml Configure failed or did not finish!

so i've changed "c:/msys..." to "/c/msys..." and everything has been fine until make...:

$ make -- Building HTML for de
warning: failed to load external entity "/c/msys/1.0/usr/share/xml/docbook-xsl-1.69.1/xhtml/profile-chunk.xsl" compilation error: file ../../stylesheets/plainhtml.xsl line 7 element import xsl:import : unable to load /c/msys/1.0/usr/share/xml/docbook-xsl-1.69.1/xhtml/profile-chunk.xsl make: *** [stamps/html.de.stamp] Error 5

the reason is line 7 in the generated plainhtml.xsl (which was right for autogen):

so in plainhtml.xsl i' ve changed back "/c/msys..." to "c:/msys..."

...and next try with autogen and make.

$ make *** Creating directories ***

and here i get stuck. which profile.xsl shall i refer to in this profile.xls? to itself???

cheers
