Building docs

[krege]

Hi,
one more question on building.

I'm running with latest git sources and I have got an error during docs building with sphinx. I see you have it done in online documentation so " believe the error is on the my side. But may be you have a clue?

Hi,

Normally, the CMake build script takes care of building the Python documentation using Sphinx. It should be sufficient to run "make scripting_documentation" in the build directory. Is this what you were doing? The console output you posted suggests that you run Sphinx manually. But that being said, the way you ran Sphinx looks okay to me.

I haven't see this type of error before. To me it looks like an internal error in the Sphinx machinery which is not really related to OVITO. All I can say is that I didn't have any problems generating the docs with the same version of Sphinx (1.4.8 ) as you.

I'm sorry that I could not provide any real help here.

I just copy command the cmake run it to check manually. With inner cmake run the result is the same.

Thank you anyway, would try to contact the sphinx team.

Sphinx 1.5.1 did the trick. Don't understand what was wrong anyway.

I'm glad it worked. Thanks for letting us know.
