make dist-pdf doesn't work, had to use different method #1836
DescriptionDocumentation
Hello, found out about this page here, so I'd like to point this out.
The steps I had to use to get it to work were
make venv
make latex
cd build/latex
for i in $(find -name '*.tex')
do xelatex "$i"

typescript.zip m-aciek commented on Apr 13, 2026 @SuperCowProducts you need to have rsvg-convert utility available in your OS to build the PDF documentation for 3.14 and main branches.
It probably should be documented in the devguide or in the Download page description. StanFromIreland commented on Jun 13, 2026

We direct people to the devguide for instructions on the Downloads page, so let's document it here. Mustaphayinka commented on Sep 21, 2026 Hi, I'd like to work on this, will add a note about the rsvg-convert dependency to the relevant doc page. Will open a PR shortly.
