In order to be able to build the program from the CVS tree and make a tarball distribution the following tools are needed:
autotools
Jade™ or OpenJade™
GNU make
Perl's XML::Parser module
dia
epsffit
epstopdf
xsltproc
xmllint
For Debian woody the packages are: docbook-utils, docbook-xml-stylesheets, autoconf, automake1.4, autotools-dev, jade, lynx, make and libxml-parser-perl.
You need automake version 1.4. Building using automake 1.7 will very likely not work.
