Building OSGeoLive Documentation
================================

The following steps describe how to build OSGeoLive_ documentation on an Ubuntu
based operating system (such as Lubuntu).

https://osgeo.github.io/OSGeoLive-doc/ - automated publication of latest docs from GitHub.
You can see the [build script here](.travis.yml).

About OSGeoLive
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

OSGeoLive_ is a self-contained bootable DVD, USB thumb drive or Virtual
Machine based on Lubuntu, that allows you to try a wide variety of open source
geospatial software without installing anything. It is composed entirely of
free software, allowing it to be freely distributed, duplicated and passed
around.

reStructured Text
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The majority of OSGeoLive documentation is generated from reStructured text (reSt) sources
using Sphinx. reSt is similar to wiki markup, and readable in plain ASCII. As a
quick check, GitHub will (partially) render reSt documents as HTML.

Building steps
~~~~~~~~~~~

Following the steps below on the OSGeoLive Virtual Machine itself is one of the easiest ways
to build the OSGeoLive documentation.

First install Python and create a virtual environment.

1.0 Requirements
You might need to install `git` and `cmake` if they are not on your system yet.
::
# Install git and cmake
sudo apt-get install git cmake

1.1 For Python 3
::
# Install pip
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
sudo apt-get install python3-venv

# Prepare python environment
python3 -m venv py-env

# activate the environment
source py-env/bin/activate

# Python requirements
pip install -r requirements.txt

1.2 Requirements for the presentation

::
sudo apt-get install cpanminus
sudo cpanm Text::SimpleTable::AutoWidth

2.1 For Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal Fossa)
To build onto Focal Fossa, you will need `specific packages `_:
::
# Packages required for doc building on Ubuntu 20.04
sudo apt install debhelper python3-sphinx python3-stemmer python3-pil \
pngquant cmake libtext-simpletable-autowidth-perl \

.. TODO sphinx-revealjs is now used
python3-sphinxjp.themes.revealjs

3. Clone or download OSGeoLive source documentation
::
git clone https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive-doc.git

4. Generate the English documentation
::
cd OSGeoLive-doc
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DHTML=ON ..
make
cd ..

The output is in `build/doc/_build/html/`

5. Generate another language documentation
::
cd build
cmake -DHTML=ON -DFR=ON ..
make
cd ..

Adding -DFR=ON adds the French language, adding another -DES=ON adds Spanish, and so on.
The output is also in `build/doc/_build/html/`

6. To build all available languages
::
cd build
cmake -DHTML=ON -DALL_LANG=ON ..
make
cd ..

7. *Optional*: reduce the size of the generated documentation
::
bash scripts/clean-images.sh
