Hi there, I'm working through bringing up a new machine with the gEDA suite from git HEAD and I thought I'd take the opportunity to create patches to tidy up some of the autotools files while I'm doing it, but I wanted to check the intent of the current behaviour before opening bugs/filing patches in case it's actually working the way it should be.
One issue I've run into is the groff requirement. If I don't have groff html driver installed, running configure with the default options gives the following transcript in config.log: configure:12599: checking whether groff has an html driver groff: can't find `DESC' file groff:fatal error: invalid device `html' (try installing the `groff' package?) configure:12608: result: no Then when I run make, I get: No working groff available: cannot create gschem.html make: ***[gschem.html] Error 1 What's the correct/preferred behaviour? 1) what it does now - error out during build 2) Warn instead of error on the inability to create gschem.html, but continue the build. 3) Fail at configure if groff html driver is not present i.e. treat it as a hard prerequisite 4) something else Cheers Gareth _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
