Re: [docbook-apps] Beginner Problems Updating CLASSPATHS for SaxonInstallation


Hi René:

"Variable" is for example CLASSPATH
"Value" is for example: C:\studies\xsl\extensions\saxon651.jar;C:\studies\saxon\saxon.jar

To whom it may concern,

I am trying to install and use Saxon on a Windows XP Professional machine by
following the directions in Bob Stayton's "DocBook XSL: The Complete Guide",
but I am utterly confused. I know how to get to the Environment Variables
dialog box, but confused on how exactly to change or add new system
variables.

When I click to create a new Variable, a dialog box comes up with two
fields: "Variable" and a "Value". What do I put in each of those fields if
my .jar files are located here:

-C:\studies\xsl\extensions\saxon651.jar
-C:\studies\saxon\saxon.jar

I guess I am unclear of the difference between a Variable and a Value when
creating a new Environment Variable and exactly what to put in there. Also
the following statement, from "DocBook XSL: The Complete Guide" under the
section "Using Saxon" is very unclear to me:

"Saxon is a Java application, which means you need to add the appropriate
Java class files to your CLASSPATH environment variable. Then you execute
the java command with the main processor class as its first argument."

I do not know what the appropriate Java class files are?

Thank you for helping the lost beginner,
René
