Re: Automating docs compilation in the software build process

["Brian Das" <brian_das -at- hotmail -dot- com>]

Hi David,

In my experience, documentation files (such as PDF, html, .DOC, or ASCII
files) don't require any special handling in the compilation process. Robust
applications install a wide variety of files on the target machine, so I'd
be very surprised if including documentation would cause problems.

Encourage your installation folks to plan and test carefully, and ask them
if they have any special needs (for example, will their compilation script
always be looking for a file with a particular name, extension or file size;
or, will it just grab the contents of a folder).

 Cheers,
 Brian
