Getting started

I'm trying to use the commandline to turn a .fo into a pdf but am having 
some trouble getting FOP to kick into gear.

I'm setting the classpath manually at this stage with the following:
set CLASSPATH=c:\fop\build\fop.jar; c:\fop\lib\batik.jar; 
c:\fop\lib\jimi-1.0.jar; c:\xalan\bin\xalan.jar; c:\xalan\bin\xerces.jar

and trying to invoke FOP with:
fop invoice3.fo invoice3.pdf

I'm using Fop-0.20.1 and have JRE 1.3.1 installed in Windows NT4

Whenever I hit FOP it comes back with the following message:
"The name specified is not recognized as an internal or external 
command, operable program or batch file."

Have I missed a step or got something set up wrong here.
Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Josh Campbell

Hi,

seems to me that Windows cannot find the command "fop", ie. the batch file
fop.bat. Did you include the path
where fop.bat resides in your %PATH% environment variable, or did you call
it from the directory where fop.bat
resides?

Otherwise, like Michiel Verhoef already mentioned, call the class
org.apache.fop.apps.Fop directly with
'java org.apache.fop.apps.Fop -fo invoice3.fo -pdf invoice3.pdf', after
setting the required libraries into the classpath.

Regards,
Sebastian
