api.jquery.com build fails in windows environment

[alano999]

Hi.

Fatal error building api.jquery.com in Windows environment:-

Running "build-xml-full" task
>> Unknown option --path
Task "build-xml-full" failed. Use --force to continue.
Aborted due to warnings.

The failure is because GnuWin32 version of libxslt recommended in the main readme.md for use when building api.jquery,com in a windows environment does not support the "--path" option of xsltproc.

In order to use the recommended version of libxslt, grunt-jquery-content/tasks/build-xml.js can be altered by simply removing the last two parameter completely from line 165 (Release 0.5.0).

So, change from:-

args: [ "--xinclude", "--path", process.cwd(),

to:-

args: [ "--xinclude",

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Alan

The GnuWin32 packages linked in the README don't work for this build process ( they look rather old ).

I downloaded the same dependencies from http://www.zlatkovic.com/libxml.en.html and was able to build successfully.

Great. If the zlatkovic.com version of libxml works (I won't be trying it), all that needs to be changed is the readme.md file on api.jquery.com - because it recommends the GnuWin32 version.

Thx.
