Installation Environment Variables

## Installation Environment Variables

Some environment variables can be set before running ./configure to tune the installation process. This can be used to specify the locations of components which are installed but can't be found by ./configure in "standard" locations. For example, you could pass the location of the DocBook DTD by running ./configure as:

    $  DBK_XML_DTD=/home/flacoste/xml/docbook-xml-4.1.2/docbookx.dtd \
     ./configure

The following list explains the purpose of each variable.

`PERL`

  Sets the path to the perl interpreter.

`JADE`

  Sets the path to the jade DSSSL interpreter. This is only needed when you build from CVS.

`PDFJADETEX`

  Sets the path to the pdfjatetex command. This is only needed when you build from CVS.

`XSLTPROC`

  Sets the path to the xsltproc XSLT processor. This is only needed when you build from CVS.

`DBK_XML_DTD`

  Sets the path to the DocBook XML Document Type Declaration. This should point to the XML V4.1.2 DTD. This is only needed when you build from CVS.

`DBK_XSL_STYLESHEETS`

  Sets the path to the directory which contains Norman Walsh's XSL stylesheets for DocBook. (This directory should contain subdirectories named `fo`, `html` or `xhtml`.) This is only needed when you build from CVS.

`DBK_DSSSL_STYLESHEETS`

  Sets the path to the directory which contains Norman Walsh's DSSSL stylesheets for DocBook. (This directory should contain a subdirectory named `print`.) This is only needed when you build from CVS.
