1.2.2 Building the documentation

The PyHLA documentation may be find online at http://www.nongnu.org/certi/PyHLA/manual however you may rebuild the documentation from the PyHLA source itself, in order to generate either PDF, HTML or DVI format.

The documentation of PyHLA uses standard Python documentation system, in particular the python mkhowto script. For generating the documentation from source you need:

a working python installation with mkhowto script
a working latex compiler
a specific latex style called msc.sty which is used to draw Message Sequence Chart in the documentation. If you do not have the msc.sty installed you may let CMake retrieve the file for you from: http://satoss.uni.lu/mscpackage.

The procedure for generating the documentation is simple, go the PyHLA source directory and then:

make msc.sty
make howto

The msc.sty step is optional and necessary only if you don't have msc.sty installed.
