The PDF documentation for VSIPL++ is provided in a pre-built form within the source package, and normally the build process simply copies this pre-built documentation into the build tree.
If for some reason you wish to rebuild the PDF documentation, you need the following additional software:
libxslt
Sourcery VSIPL++ uses the xsltproc program from libxslt to format the DocBook source files for the documentation. You can download libxslt from http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/index.html if your operating system does not already provide a copy.
XEP
Sourcery VSIPL++ uses the RenderX XEP Engine to process the formatted DocBook files into PDF files. XEP is available from http://www.renderx.com/tools/xep.html.
In addition, the following configuration options are applicable to building the PDF documentation:
--enable-maintainer-modeThis option allows Sourcery VSIPL++ to rebuild various generated files that are normally included in pre-built form in the source distributions. You must pass this option to the configure script in order to rebuild the PDF documentation.
XEP=path
Specify path as the XEP render engine
to use. If you do not provide this option, Sourcery VSIPL++
searches for xep in your PATH.
After you have configured Sourcery VSIPL++ appropriately, the PDF documentation is built automatically when you make the rest of the library, or you can rebuild just the PDF documenation by running the command
> make pdf
