Stuart,
I have three questions/comments on the build systems. Maybe this is
something that you you still want in 8.6.3:
On "make install"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Without these previous calls (mentioned in INSTALL.txt) make install
fails:
# python a2x.py -f manpage doc/asciidoc.1.txt
# python a2x.py -f manpage doc/a2x.1.txt
What are the reasons to not integrate this into the Makefile so make
install actually depends on them so that they get executed?
Would you accept patches for this?
I don't think there is a reason, please post a patch if you can come up with
one.
Generation of file BUGS
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The files four files README, BUGS, INSTALL, and CHANGELOG seem to be
shipped with tarballs only. I was not able to find out, how you
generate these files. What commands do you run? Could you add a make
target for it? It is of interested for building packages right from a
mercurial checkout.
These files are generated by the ./doc/main.aap build script
(http://code.google.com/p/asciidoc/source/browse/doc/main.aap), they are
generated by the %.text rule (AsciiDoc source to HTML then converted to text
with lynx(1)).
I have thought about converting the AAP scripts to GNU Make so that all building
is handled by Make but it would be a big job with no functional payoff.
Variable "manpdir" in Makefile.in
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Could it be that this line can be remove from Makefile.in?
manpdir = $(mandir)/man1
I dont see $(manpdir) used anywhere.
I think it's just cruft so I've taken it out.
Cheers, Stuart
Best,
Sebastian
