You need Python >= 3.5 and pip to make +this target. + +There are two ways to generate the documentation: + +1. Using `make refdoc': + + - Ensure `python' and `pip' are available. + - Install pip package `docwriter' with `pip install --user docwriter'. + - Make target with `make refdoc'. + - This target can be run offline once required packages are installed. + +2. Using `make refdoc-venv' (requires internet access): + + - Ensure `python', `pip' and Python package `virtualenv' are available. + - Make target with `make refdoc-venv'. + - This may or may not require internet access every time depending on + pip and system caching. + +Some troubleshooting tips: + +* Regularly run `pip install --upgrade docwriter' to check for updates which +may include bug fixes. + +* `Docwriter' does not support Python 2. Ensure that Python >= 3.5 is +installed and available as `python3'/`python'. + +* Ensure that `docwriter' is installed in the same Python target that +`make refdoc' uses (python3/python). + +* If none of this works, send a mail to `freetype-devel@nongnu.org' or file +an issue at `https://github.com/freetype/docwriter/issues'. |
