Docbook errors building Komparator from source

  • 772

I'm trying to install Komparator4 v0.8 from the terminal of Ubuntu 11.10. I entered this command and work fine: 

mkdir build && cd build && cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` ..

But when I enter make I get this output whit error messages.

I installed this program with this method twice previously and I had no problems.

What I'm doing wrong?

    The errors you get, e.g.:

    index.docbook:1054: parser error : Entity 'install.compile.documentation' not defined

    is the exact behavior displayed by an old serious bug in Komparator, which was fixed in late 2011 in Komparator 0.6.

    If you are still getting this error, you should report it as a bug to the Komparator dev-team.

    Temporary Alternative: build without documentation

    For now, if you wish to build the package and can just refer to the online documentation, here's how:

    • In the top level folder, edit CMakelists.txt and in front of line 38, add_subdirectory(doc), add a #, i.e. #add_subdirectory(doc).
    • Save, exit, and cd build && cmake .....
    • This should build the package successfully.

    I was able to successfully build Komparator 4 0.7 and Komparator 4 0.8 on an up-to-date Kubuntu 11.10.
