Re: [docbook-apps] EPUB2 vs. EPUB3: Making base.dir consistent?

[Mike Cook <m@mikecook.co.uk>]

I can't get either EPUB 2 or 3 working. I've done a fresh checkout;

svn co https://docbook.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/docbook/trunk/xsl 
basetest

But I'm getting include failures when executing (with and without 
setting the base);

xsltproc /docbook/xsl-ns/basetest/epub3/chunk.xsl test.xml

warning: failed to load external entity 
"/docbook/xsl-ns/basetest/xhtml5/xhtml-docbook.xsl"

...and;


xsltproc /docbook/xsl-ns/basedir/epub/docbook.xsl test.xml
