Extract the files from StrongHelp manuals.
Strong Extract is a cross-platform tool to extract the files from StrongHelp manuals. It is written in C, and can be compiled to run on platforms other than RISC OS.
To install and use Strong Extract, it will be necessary to have suitable Linux system with a working installation of the GCCSDK.
It will also be necessary to ensure that the SFTOOLS_BIN and $SFTOOLS_MAKE variables are set to a suitable location within the current environment. For example
export SFTOOLS_BIN=/home/steve/sftools/bin
export SFTOOLS_MAKE=/home/steve/sftools/make
where the path is changed to suit your local settings and installation requirements. Finally, you will also need to have installed the Shared Makefiles, ManTools and PackTools.
To install Strong Extract, use
make install
from the root folder of the project, which will copy the necessary files in to the location indicated by $SFTOOLS_BIN.
A ReadMe for Strong Extract will be generated in the buildlinux folder.
To build Strong Extract for use natively on RISC OS, you can use
make TARGET=riscos
and the resulting files (executable and ReadMe) will be generated in the buildro folder. To create a Zip archive of the release, use
make release TARGET=riscos
and a Zip file will appear in the parent folder to the location of the project itself.
