Something wrong when transform Documentation/DocBook/*.tmpl into pdf

Something wrong when transform Documentation/DocBook/*.tmpl into pdf

[Park Lee]

Hi,
  I'm using Fedora Core 2. In
/usr/src/linux-2.6.5-1.358/Documentation/kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt,
in the 'How to extract the documentation' subsection,
it says:

If you just want to read the ready-made books on the
various subsystems (see Documentation/DocBook/*.tmpl),
just type 'make psdocs', or 'make pdfdocs', or 'make
htmldocs', depending on your preference.

  Then, on the command line, I type the following
commands:

cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.5-1.358/Documentation/DocBook 
<ENTER>
make pdfdocs  <ENTER>

  But the system says the following:

make: *** No rule to make target `scripts/kernel-doc',
needed by `/wanbook.sgml'.  Stop.

  Then, what's the matter? How actually can I
transform the *.tmpl in Documentation/DocBook into pdf
files? 

  Thank you.

Best Regards,
Park Lee

Execute the command from the root of the kernel src:
cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.5-1.358/
make pdfdocs

Wrong, you want to be in the top of the kernel source tree, not in the 
Documentation/DocBook subdir.

cd /path/to/your/kernel/source
make pdfdocs 

you can also make docs in other formats, try running "make help" and 
you'll see this :

[...]
Documentation targets:
  Linux kernel internal documentation in different formats:
  sgmldocs (SGML), psdocs (Postscript), pdfdocs (PDF)
  htmldocs (HTML), mandocs (man pages, use installmandocs to install)
[...]

Correct sequence is:

$ cd /usr/src/linux-whatever/
$ make pdfdocs

pdfs will be at Documentation/DocBook/
