Documentation in pdf

[Jonan]

Is there a way to get the official manual in pdf?

It's quite long and being able to print it easily would be really useful.

Hello,
  one can usually build a PDF version of the manual with jam manualpdf, but it looks like it's broken since quite some time, without us noticing...
Here's the bug ticket I just opened, so you can track the issue:
https://www.crystalspace3d.org/trac/CS/ticket/480
Thanks for the heads up

[Vincent]

For which CS version do you want a PDF manual ?
If it's for 1.3/trunk, I put a copy at http://ecksdee.sourceforge.net/testing/csmanual-1_3.pdf
Better check it carefuly before printing

[Jonan]

That will do, thanks

If it's for 1.3/trunk, I put a copy at http://ecksdee.sourceforge.net/testing/csmanual-1_3.pdf

I uploaded a new copy after #480 fix, you might want to re-download it...
