Yes, and looking in the source package I see in the patch:
-nobase_pkgdata_DATA = format/docbook/dvi \
+nobase_pkgdata_DATA = \
format/docbook/fo \
format/docbook/html \
format/docbook/html-nochunks \
format/docbook/xhtml \
format/docbook/xhtml-nochunks \
format/docbook/man \
- format/docbook/pdf \
- format/docbook/ps \
format/docbook/txt \
format/docbook/htmlhelp \
format/docbook/javahelp \
- format/fo/dvi \
- format/fo/pdf \
- format/fo/ps \
xmlto.mak
Also I think that it doesn't work as expected, i.e. no error is
displayed when s.th. fails, just the usage information which is not
helpful for finding the error:
$ make 2>&1 | tee log.make02
make all-am
make[1]: Entering directory `/e/ftp.inf.tu-dresden.de/software/windows/cygwin32/release/xmlto/xmlto-0.0.14'
for xml in xmlif.xml xmlto.xml; do \
FORMAT_DIR=./format XSL_DIR=/usr/share/sgml/docbook-xsl \
bash ./xmlto man -o man/man1 ./doc/$xml ; \
done
usage: xmlto FORMAT [OPTION]... XML
OPTIONs are:
-v verbose output (-vv for very verbose)
-x stylesheet use the specified stylesheet instead of choosing one
-m fragment use the XSL fragment to customize the stylesheet
-o directory put output in the specified directory instead of
the current working directory
It only works if you swap 'FORMAT [OPTIONS]' to '[OPTIONS] FORMAT'
which is what I found in the patch included in the source package.
Also this annoying behaviour is not documented in the README or
elsewhere (besides the patch in the source package).
Also to send upstream:
It is not possible to specify an alternative to
'XSL_DIR=$(top_srcdir)/xsl' when running configure which makes it
neccessary to manually link the xsl directory to the sourcedir or to
manually edit the Makefile templates.
