| Hi Rapha, Allow me to express some thoughts: - currently liberty eiffel distribution has 7k+ classes - a very few of them are incompletely specified (is indicated in my previous message) - those few ones prevent the whole system from being documented
I am not convinced (as you suggested) that the problem stems from “the size of generated html”: 7k classes is huge, there is nothing we can do about it.
IMHO, the problem is more about definition of the universe: after a standard install, liberty eiffel just assumes that I want to use all the classes included in the distribution. This is definitely not the case: On a first trial, I’d be happy to work with the classes included in “my universe”, which in my case was an empty directory. Should I want to add more classes, I would be happy to provide a universe to the system ( loadpath.se).
While being easy to use, I believe the system should not imply a default universe, but stick to the one defined in the current directory. Obviously, other settings from “ liberty.se” (e.g. compiler settings) are worth keeping unchanged. But who am I to make such suggestions? Regards Remy
BTW, “install.sh -wrapper” currently yields errors, which seem to be the very origin to the problems discussed in this thread

Hi, yea, clearly I'd say it's better to continoue. But we had already so much trouble with eiffeldoc - you know that normally it runs on every commit and generates the nightly docs, but that process also fails due to memory issues. Also the size of the generated HTML is a nightmare and maybe it would be best, to redesign the whole thing, starting with better html output and than rework eiffeldoc as needed to do the job properly. Ideas or PRs are warmly welcome! Rapha Am Sonntag, dem 28.04.2024 um 17:23 +0200 schrieb Remy.Schleimer: Hi,
Thanks for confirming that I am not alone.
So we have to fix this!
First question would then be, in such circumstance, does the tool
need to break, and generate nothing, rather than to fall back
generating what goes, and leaving appropriate messages for the rest?

When I came to Liberty Eiffel not long ago and started tinkering
with eiffeldoc, I encountered the same issue and temporarily
addressed it by simply deleting the postgres bindings (and a few
other similarly offending subclusters of the library IIRC). It
seems that eiffeldoc lacks support for some aspects of the library.
See also contents of "The library wrappers"
at https://doc.liberty-eiffel.org/ , suggesting that documentation
generation isn't broken just for noobs like me, but also for the
project's heads.

Hi there,
In an attempt to start with liberty eiffel, I have done the
following:
git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/liberty-eiffel.git
cd liberty-eiffel
./install.sh
export PATH=$PATH:`pwd`/target/bin
mkdir dev
cd dev
se eiffeldoc
This yields the following error:
****** Fatal Error: Cannot find the class "LIBPQ_FE_EXTERNALS" in
any known cluster.
Line 23 in POSTGRESQL_DATABASE (/Users/eiffel/Repos/liberty-
eiffel/src/wrappers/database/library/postgresql/postgresql_databa
se.e):
insert LIBPQ_FE_EXTERNALS
———————————
Any hints to get rid of this would be great
Remy
