wx-GUI: html-manual

[hellik]

hi,

if you go to

http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/html64_user/wxGUI.html

and scroll down, you see that the manual is three or four times in one html. the same is in the grass64rc3 (at least in the osgeo4w-grass64rc-2).

[hamish]

same for wxGUI.Nviz.html and others in gui/wxpython/docs/.

apparently the 'make htmldir' command there just appends the man pages to wxGUI.tmp.html instead of overwriting them so each time the dir is rebuilt the man page grows... I notice that 'make distclean' does not remove the *.tmp.html files in that dir.

Fix (hack) submitted for devel_branch6 and 6.4.0svn: r36045 and r36046. GRASS 7 doesn't have this problem.

It will show up next by Saturday in the online manual. Closing ticket.

reopening ticket, as the problem still happens and the fix actually does nothing.

'make distclean' does not remove gui/wxpython/docs/*.tmp.html. i.e. it's not about $(GISBASE)/docs/html/$$file.html, it's about the .tmp.html file in the source dir.

run "make" in gui/wxpython/docs/ a few times and watch them grow.

Two problems to fix as I see it:

• 'make clean' does not clean up the .tmp.html files in docs/

and

• 'make htmldir' is appending to instead of replacing the .tmp.html file.

not really sure about how to fix Makefile stuff, Hamish

this version of the hack better addresses the symptom, but not the cause:
