git compiling: Documentation/git-add.xml does not validate
compiler-construction, git, gnu
Solution
Late to the party, but on cygwin the package you need for this to validate is `docbook-xml45` (as implied by the DTD URI, docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd)
Problem
When compiling git I have these errors: ``` make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/xxx/git-master' XMLTO git-add.1 xmlto: /home/xxx/git-master/Documentation/git-add.xml does not validate (status 3) xmlto: Fix document syntax or use --skip-validation option I/O error : Attempt to load network entity http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd /home/xxx/git-master/Documentation/git-add.xml:2: warning: failed to load external entity "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd" D DocBook XML V4.5//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd" I/O error : Attempt to load network entity http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd warning: failed to load external entity "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd" validity error : Could not load the external subset "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd" Document /home/xxx/git-master/Documentation/git-add.xml does not validate make[1]: *** [git-add.1] Error 13 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/xxx/git-master/Documentation' make: *** [doc] Error 2 ``` What is the main problem?
