The Eclipse Scout Book
Some background
Download
- HTML

Setup for Contributing
This section holds the necessary installation/setup that is required to build the book out of the sources.
- latex (for PDF and HTML version)
- calibre (for creation and viewing of EPUB version)
- make (for building the book using a make file)
- zip/unzip (for packaging of the HTML version into a single zip file)
For building the book and generating the output files a continuous integration environment will be set up, making it possible to contribute to the Scout book without having a local working latex installation.
In the sections below, necessary download and installation steps of a working setup are described for Windows (if you have a working setup for Mac or Linux, please consider to amend a corresponding section.
