Ciao,
quick question, I have been looking around trying to install sphinx on
my windows laptop so that I can write docs wherever I am , expecially
in spare time. However I haven't found a decent guide yet that would
guide through the process. Does anyone have a link to a tutorial or
something like it?
I could not find one but somehow I managed to install it when I still
was working on Windows. The vague steps I remember:
- installed Python itself (ActiveState version I believe, not sure)
- installed MSYS (http://www.mingw.org/wiki/msys)
I already had that installed, so that windows looks like ubuntu, just
a little bit more unstable :-).
- don't remember if I installed easy-install or if that came along
with the Python install (it's part of the setup-tools packages
on Linux, don't remember for Windows)
- put all of the above in the classpath
I have installed python 2.5.4 from here
http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5.4/ (you need to add it to
the path)
and setup_tools from here http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools (you
need to add to the path the dir %PYTHON_PATH%\Scripts)
Then you run:
easy-install sphinx
and this installs sphinx,
cd doc/user
make html
worked as a charm
And this generates the documentation.
In order to generate PDF one has to install Latex along with all
the imaginable extras because our setup is using a font that is
not in the base Latex installs (at least not on Linux).
Good to see that someone is still using latex. I have been forced to
abandone it since everybody wanted .doc or.odt, I think it's about
time to revamp my latex skills.
Simone.
Cheers
Andrea
