Building OpenMW documentation

Building in Docker (the recommended way)

Preparing Docker image

Run the following commands from OpenMW source directory to build a new Docker image openmw_doc:

cd docs
docker build -t openmw_doc .
cd ..

(or run script docs/prepare_docker_image.sh)

This step needs to be repeated only if any dependencies were changed.

The image is based on readthedocs/build:latest that is newer than the image readthedocs uses by default (readthedocs/build:stable). So if after some readthedocs update the documentation will stop building, there is a chance to detect it before the online docs will break.

Generating HTML

Run the following command from OpenMW source directory to generate the documentation:

docker run --user "$(id -u)":"$(id -g)" --volume "$PWD":/openmw openmw_doc \
    sphinx-build /openmw/docs/source /openmw/docs/build

(or run script docs/build_docs.sh)

To view the generated documentation just open docs/build/index.html in a browser.

Building without Docker (an alternative way)

Building documentation without Docker is more complicated as it requires multiple dependencies.

Installation of required python packages

From OpenMW source directory

pip3 install -r docs/requirements.txt
