Installation problem

[hackman2112]

Also if I try to run it here's what goes in the log:

ERROR: docx2hub/xpl/single-tree.xpl:49:79:err:XS0052:Cannot import: http://transpect.io/calabash-extensions/transpect-lib.xpl

Hi Greg, the first issue that you are reporting is probably due to https://github.com/transpect/docx2tex/blob/master/.gitmodules#L24 – the submodule is attached via ssh instead of HTTP, like the other submodules. This only works for someone who has stored their ssh key with their github account. We’ll fix this, it will also be an HTTP URL.

The second issue is an indication that the XML catalog is not being used. In your checked-out copy, is there a file calabash-frontend/xmlcatalog/catalog.xml? How did you exactly invoke d2t, i.e., from which directory, using which command line?

We don’t use Macs too often, but we’ll be able to investigate further on a Mac tomorrow if it seems to be an issue related to our lack of properly supporting the Mac…

Ok, I updated the submodule URL. I don’t know exactly how you can update this so that your copy reflects this change. The numerous git incantations and which to select for which occasion is a thing that is still quite arcane to me. git submodules tend to make matters even more complicated.
First, do a

git pull

so that your .gitmodules file gets updated. Then you can try

git submodule foreach --recursive git checkout master

and/or

git submodule foreach git pull origin master

If that doesn’t help, then maybe

git submodule sync
git submodule update --init --recursive

or checking out a fresh copy altogether, as per https://xkcd.com/1597/

Hi Gerrit, thank you for your quick response. I'll try the new repository right away.

Yes, catalog.xml exists right where you said it should.

I invoked d2t right from the command line, in the directory that d2t actually exists, and the invocation was really simple:

./d2t -o a.tex a.docx

In the meantime, I checked out a fresh version and I was able to reproduce your 2nd issue (that is related to the XML catalog). Will fix it soon.

Ok, should be fixed now. Sorry that it didn’t run ok right from the start. I blame git submodules.

[hackman2112]

Installs perfectly now!

This type of code is such an important and useful tool for those of us who want to write serious scientific documents. I've starred it and intend to tell everyone I know about it.

Thanks!

Please don’t hesitate to report further errors, in particular incorrect mappings to LaTeX, since there will still be some for sure…
