[oXygen-user] how to call xsltproc from Mac OS X commandline?

[Dan Caprioara]

Hello Syd,

You can use xsltproc.mac from the command line, but you have to add the 
oXygen installation directory to the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.

Can be like this:

mac> export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH:{path-to-oXygen-directory}
mac> {path-to-oXygen-directory}/xsltproc.mac {stylesheet} {in} > {out}

To avoid these commands each time you make the XSL transformations, you 
can make a script that makes the export and then calls xsltproc; or you 
can place the export in the .bash_profile file located in your home 
directory.

Other XSLT engine is Saxon, you may find it in the 
{path-to-oXygen-directory}/lib directory. It can be invoked like this:

mac>java -jar {path-to-oXygen-directory}/lib/saxon.jar {in} {stylesheet}

Or, for XSLT 2.0, Saxon 8:

mac>java -jar {path-to-oXygen-directory}/lib/saxon8.jar {in} {stylesheet}


Best regards,
Dan Caprioara
