Manual Building issues

<< < (2/5) > >>

it's somewhat complicated and doesn't work without linux  ;D i first build a manual using "make manual". this gives me the output files which lack references etc. i then take the "rockbox-build.tex" file, open it with texnic, compile it et voilà i got the manual with references.
i got myself miktex after reading the manualhowto wiki Windows native.

I'm confused - if you have got as far as make manual under linux then you have the manual - it is all done, you have the pdf.  Why are you then building it again in a complicated way in Windows?

Using SVN means nothing here - you are not building anything using SVN.  You are using the sources held in SVN.  SVN is a version control system, not a way of constructing pdfs from a tex source.  Therefore this statement is useless.  Did you mean that you were building the manual using tetex or texlive in linux?

If so, then the real answer would be to find out why this doesn't work for you but does for everyone else, not to introduce another load of tools into the equation.  Given your complete misuse of the terms, I think it is not unsurprising I am a little confused about what you have done.

let me break it down:
i am using the debian vmwware image. i choose manual in the ../tools/configure dialogue. i get a make file. i "make manual". i get a pdf file, and several .tex files in the build folder. when i open the pdf file in that folder, i can read the manual but the page/section references all show up as ??. so i tried to go a different route and downloaded miktex and texniccenter, which were mentioned in the wiki. i then opened the rockbox-build.tex which i got by the "make manual" command and compile it in texniccenter. then i get a pdf file that is working (i.e. has working references).
