[fpc-devel] building pdf documentation

[Graeme Geldenhuys]

I read the readme.txt file in the fpcdocs checked out files. Is says to
make PDF documentation I need to run 'make pdf'.  Below is my attempt --
which failed. :-(   Any hints on the magic key combination?


-----------------------
$ cd /opt/fpcdocs_svn
$ make pdf
Makefile:198: *** The Makefile doesn't support target can't-executed,,
please run fpcmake first.  Stop.
$ fpcmake

 x86_64-linux requires:
 Writing Makefile
$ make pdf
Makefile:198: *** The Makefile doesn't support target can't-executed,,
please run fpcmake first.  Stop.
-----------------------

I can run 'latex' and 'pdflatex' on my own .tex files without
problems... See output below:
