[SOLVED] Slackware from Scratch problem

worsel · 08-05-2015, 06:42 PM

While attempting to follow Nobidino's list for SFS, all went well until trying to compile kmod.
The following error message appears:

[QUOTE]Making all in man
XSLT modprobe.d.5
I/O error : Attempt to load network entity http://docbook.sourceforge.net/relea...es/docbook.xsl
warning: failed to load external entity "http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/manpages/docbook.xsl"
cannot parse http://docbook.sourceforge.net/relea...es/docbook.xsl
make[2]: *** [modprobe.d.5] Error 4
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2 [\QUOTE]

Tried googling, but no joy

Looking at the Makefile (under the man directory) it appears that xsltproc is supposed to bring
"docbook.xsl" from it's internet site. This confuses me because SFS should have no connection
to the internet at this time.

If anyone can point me to a resolution for the above error, I would appreciate it.

What if you download the file and then change your hosts file so that domain points to 127.0.0.1 and then host the file locally in the same directory structure?

You might also be able to change the source to point to a local copy of the file, but this could be really involved (or it could be a simple sed change).

Sorry to be late getting back to this, but other things interferred.

I tried your suggestions, bassmadrigal, but couldn't get any of them to work.

As a workaround, I disabled making the documentation. This allowed kmod to compile.
So I think this thread is solved.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I haven't looked at the makefile in question, but as far as xsltproc is concerned, you should be able to make an entry in the /etc/xml/catalog file that redirects the docbook namespace URI to a local file.
Here's what is in my Slackware64 14.1 /etc/xml/catalog file (note that /etc/xml/docbook is another XML catalog file!):

Code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE catalog PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD Entity Resolution XML Catalog V1.0//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/entity/release/1.0/catalog.dtd">
<catalog xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog">

  <delegatePublic publicIdStartString="-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML" catalog="file:///etc/xml/docbook"/>
  <delegateSystem systemIdStartString="http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/" catalog="file:///etc/xml/docbook"/>

  <delegateURI uriStartString="http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.4/" catalog="file:///etc/xml/docbook"/>
  <rewriteSystem systemIdStartString="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/1.78.1" rewritePrefix="/usr/share/xml/docbook/xsl-stylesheets-1.78.1"/>
  <rewriteURI uriStartString="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/1.78.1" rewritePrefix="/usr/share/xml/docbook/xsl-stylesheets-1.78.1"/>
  <rewriteSystem systemIdStartString="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current" rewritePrefix="/usr/share/xml/docbook/xsl-stylesheets-1.78.1"/>

</catalog>

After you futz around with XML catalogs for a while, it eventually will make sense; your brain will itch a bit during the process.

one question concerning the building of kmod: are-you sure linuxdoc-tools is complete? The right size of the package is around 6.9 Mo. The package can be built without being complete, until it's not complete you can have that kind of problem.
A solution to your problem can be : add "--disable-manpages" to configure, and rebuild it later.

To Richard Cranium:
I had already noticed the brain itch problem with xml.

To Nobidino:
That was what I did. After I was able to boot SFS, I went back and re-compiled kmod. It worked nicely.

Thanks
