Compiling under UNIX/Linux
HTMLDOC uses a configuration script produced by GNU autoconf to
configure itself for your system. If your ANSI C compiler is not called
cc or gcc, set the CC environment
variable to the name and path of your ANSI C compiler:
% setenv CC /path/to/compiler ENTER [C Shell]
% CC=/path/to/compiler; export CC ENTER [Bourne/Korn Shell]
Similarly, if your C++ compiler is not called CC, gcc
, c++, or g++, set the CXX
environment variable to the name and path of your C++ compiler:
% setenv CXX /path/to/compiler ENTER [C Shell]
% CXX=/path/to/compiler; export CXX ENTER [Bourne/Korn Shell]
Then run the following command to configure HTMLDOC for installation in the default directories:
% ./configure ENTER
The default configuration will install HTMLDOC in the /usr/bin
directory with the data files under /usr/share/htmldoc and
the documentation and on-line help under /usr/share/doc/htmldoc
. Use the --prefix option to change the installation prefix
to a different directory such as /usr/local:
% ./configure --prefix=/usr/local ENTER
If the OpenSSL library is not installed in a standard location for
your compilers, use the --with-openssl-includes and
--with-openssl-libs options to point to the OpenSSL library:
% ./configure --with-openssl-libs=/path/to/openssl/lib \
--with-openssl-includes=/path/to/openssl ENTER
HTMLDOC is built from a Makefile in the distribution's main directory. Simply run the "make" command to build HTMLDOC:
% make ENTER
If you get any fatal errors, please report them on the
htmldoc.general newsgroup at:
http://www.easysw.com/newsgroups.php
Please note the version of HTMLDOC that you are using as well as any pertinent system information such as the operating system, OS version, compiler, and so forth. Omitting this information may delay or prevent a solution to your problem.
Once you have compiled the software successfully, you may install HTMLDOC by running the following command:
% make install ENTER
If you are installing in a restricted directory like /usr then you'll need to be logged in as root.

I found it necessary under Solaris 10 to add the
--enable-localjpeg --enable-localpng
to ./configure - lest I get the following error...
Error code 58
The following command caused the error:
../htmldoc/htmldoc --datadir .. --strict --verbose --batch htmldoc.book -f htmldoc.html
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `htmldoc.html'
