Short usage file for mklibdoc.py.
|
|
|
|
This is a program I use to automatically update the HTML documentation
|
|
of the MMA library. It can be used by anyone who adds 3rd party
|
|
files to the lib tree.
|
|
|
|
If you have already downloaded and installed the HTML documentation package
|
|
from the MMA website you will have a root directory which looks something like:
|
|
|
|
$ ls
|
|
lib/ logo.png mma.html README ref/ tut/
|
|
|
|
The lib directory contains the library documentation. A listing of this is:
|
|
|
|
$ ls/lib
|
|
index.html stdlib/
|
|
|
|
If you add or modify the library files you can simply run this program and
|
|
update your library documentation with the same tool I used when creating
|
|
the distribution. The advantage is that any new libraries you have installed
|
|
will now be in the documentation tree.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: You will probably have to be 'root' to run this program. This
|
|
depends on your installation and operating system.
|
|
|
|
To do the update simply run the program. It will check your installation
|
|
and install or update the docs in the root tree where MMA is installed.
|
|
If you have a default installation this will be /usr/local/share/mma/docs/html.
|
|
|
|
Three minor caveats:
|
|
|
|
Old/unused HTML files are NOT deleted. So, if you move files around or
|
|
delete .mma files you can end up with a number of unused files. Just
|
|
delete the whole bunch every once in awhile if it becomes a problem.
|
|
|
|
The program really assumes that you already have the html documentation
|
|
installed. So, it doesn't do a very good job of creating the complete
|
|
directory tree. If you find that you get an error right off the top of
|
|
program you will need to create the directories by hand. Assuming you
|
|
have installed in /usr/local/share/mma:
|
|
|
|
cd /usr/local/share/mma
|
|
mkdir docs
|
|
cd docs
|
|
mkdir html
|
|
cd html
|
|
mkdir lib
|
|
|
|
or (on Linux)
|
|
|
|
mkdir -p /usr/local/share/mma/docs/html/lib
|
|
|
|
Depending on how your system is set up you will most likely need to be
|
|
be the root user for any of this to work. If you get "permission" or
|
|
"access denied" errors, run as root or fix the permissions.
