[Qgis-community-team] help with manual revision

[Werner Macho]

hi all!

I tried to compile the manual (trunk) under windows AND linux and here 
are my experiences:

Linux: easy as always but .. lets say only with Makefile .. :(
Makefile (which is obviosly linux-only) does a convert with imagemagick 
all png or jpg to needed eps..

eps files are much bigger than the png and jpg source files .. so what 
to do here? commit eps to svn too for windows users?

after converting all pictures to .eps and trying it again under windows 
there are much less complaints with texmaker and miktex but .. i guess 
there are several other problems too..

like:

so i guess if we want windows user to help with latex documentation and 
manual writing we have to make sure that everything works under windows 
as well..
the first problem i see is converting png and jpg to eps
second is a lot of other "Undefined control sequence" and other failures..

any suggestion how to deal with that problem.. we have to make sure that 
tex compiles without makefile
