docker-build.sh ../dist directory missing

When running docker-build.sh the ../dist directory is missing.

This is only needed if you are developing your own grimas, and want to publish docker images for other people to use. The script may have accidentally been included in the release, but should only really be in the github source code. The dist directory and its contents are created using the "make" command, which builds all of the documentation as well. You should not need to run this. Sorry for any confusion!

Sorry, I was looking at the source code and not the releases. Right now I think we will be working with the already built grimas.

@zemkat we are starting to look at building our own Grima's and if we wanted to share the image with others here. Are there detailed directions on how to get custom grima's to show up using a released version instead of building my own. Thanks!

When trying to run make jekyll, I get the following error

/home/user/grima/fix_urls.js:48

               ^

The fix_urls.js problem is fixed in 6fcc076

I think the current advice is end-users should use a docker image. In the next week or so, the docker image and script will be updated to be a bit easier to use.

Developers should hopefully just be able to run the php directly (the dist/ directory turns markdown and code comments into html, but has no effect on the pure functionality).

To send those grimas to end-users (if you aren't just running an apache+php webserver with two directories for grima: dev and release) the next release should have build scripts for the docker image, and a better grima.bat script for end-users that will auto-update.

If you use the released grima on a webserver, you can just put your own grimas/YourGrima/YourGrima.php etc. in the directory. If your users go through the docker image on Windows, then it seems difficult to do smoothly. You can edit grima.bat to add some -v LocalDir:/home/grima/grimas/YourGrima options to docker, but it would be one option per grima, and no easy way to edit the grima-lib.

Let us know if you have found a nice way (or have ideas) to include the grimas easily.
