curl-www

This is (most of) the curl.se web site contents. It mostly builds static HTML files that are preprocessed.

Prerequisites

The web site is a on old custom made setup that mostly builds static HTML files from a set of source files using (GNU) make. The sources files are preprocessed with what is basically a souped-up C preprocessor called fcpp and a set of perl scripts. The man pages get converted to HTML with roffit.

Markdown is converted to HTML with pandoc.

Make sure the following tools are in your $PATH.

• curl
• fcpp
• make
• pandoc
• perl (with CPAN packages: CGI, HTML::Entities)
• roffit
• GNU ln
• GNU date

Build

Once you've cloned the git repo the first time, invoke sh bootstrap.sh once to get a symlink and some some initial local files setup, and then you can build the web site locally by invoking make in the source root tree.

Note that this doesn't make you a complete web site mirror, as some scripts and files are only available on the real actual site, but should give you enough to let you load most HTML pages locally.
