我安装了以下内容：

> docbook样式表(xsl)存储库。
> xmllint，以测试xml是否正确。
> xsltproc，使用样式表处理xml。
> Apache’s fop，以生产PDF’。我确保将安装的文件夹添加到PATH。
>微软HTML Help Workshop，生产CHM的。我确保将安装的文件夹添加到PATH。

编辑：在下面的代码中，我使用的文件多于2个。如果有人想要清理版本的脚本和文件夹结构，请与我联系：guscarreno(squiggly / at)googlemail(period / dot)com

然后我使用一个configure.in：

AC_INIT(Makefile.in)

FOP=fop.sh
HHC=hhc
XSLTPROC=xsltproc

AC_ARG_WITH(fop,[  --with-fop  Where to find Apache FOP],[
    if test "x$withval" != "xno"; then
        FOP="$withval"
    fi
]
)
AC_PATH_PROG(FOP,$FOP)

AC_ARG_WITH(hhc,[  --with-hhc  Where to find Microsoft Help Compiler],[
    if test "x$withval" != "xno"; then
        HHC="$withval"
    fi
]
)
AC_PATH_PROG(HHC,$HHC)

AC_ARG_WITH(xsltproc,[  --with-xsltproc  Where to find xsltproc],[
    if test "x$withval" != "xno"; then
        XSLTPROC="$withval"
    fi
]
)
AC_PATH_PROG(XSLTPROC,$XSLTPROC)

AC_SUBST(FOP)
AC_SUBST(HHC)
AC_SUBST(XSLTPROC)

HERE=`pwd`
AC_SUBST(HERE)
AC_OUTPUT(Makefile)

cat > config.nice <<EOT
#!/bin/sh
./configure \
    --with-fop='$FOP' \
    --with-hhc='$HHC' \
    --with-xsltproc='$XSLTPROC' \

EOT
chmod +x config.nice

和一个Makefile.in：

FOP=@FOP@
HHC=@HHC@
XSLTPROC=@XSLTPROC@
HERE=@HERE@

自动生成上述文件输出。

我更喜欢使用nix方法来编写脚本，因为工具集更容易找到和使用，更不用说更容易链接了。
