rst2html.py: Command not found

[Luxcium]

Hello I am not a super-advanced user and it was complicated to install the xxdiff tool (i.e. I failed to install the tool)

first of all I do not have /usr/lib64/qt5/bin/ (qmake) in my path (and it was hard for me to find how to fix that issue)...

but I have that issue and I do not know how to locate rst2html.py:

rst2html.py --output-encoding=iso-8859-1 doc.txt doc.html
make: rst2html.py: Command not found
make: *** [Makefile:1770: doc.html] Error 127

make -f Makefile.bootstrap # Generate the 'Makefile' file.
qmake  -o Makefile.qmake xxdiff.pro
Info: creating stash file /home/luxcium/.local/src/xxdiff/src/.qmake.stash

echo "MAKEDIR = ." > Makefile
cat Makefile.qmake Makefile.extra >> Makefile

I have the same issue because:

oh! and what about: WARNING: Failure to find: resParser_lex.h ??

[jdkloe]

I use this sequence to do the compilation and install on fedora 36 which seems to work just fine:

cd <source location>
git clone https://github.com/blais/xxdiff.git xxdiff_git
cd xxdiff_git
cd src
ln -s /usr//bin/rst2html rst2html.py
cd ..
make QMAKE=qmake-qt5 -C src -f Makefile.bootstrap
make -C src
cd $HOME/bin
ln -s <source location>/xxdiff_git/bin/xxdiff

I have the following installed:
gcc-12.2.1-2.fc36.x86_64
python3-docutils-0.17.1-2.fc36.noarch
qt5-qtbase-devel-5.15.5-4.fc36.x86_64
