Comment:
Bruce, thanks for your post. Solved the problem. Taking the ticket, if you
don't mind, but can give it back to you, if you wish.
Since the first time I saw the bug, I assumed it to be related to the text
browser, and describe below several build-tests that I had performed,
without success. Today, I included other build-tests, and finally
'''build-test 5 worked'''.
I didn't want to test with other text browsers, because it always worked
with links, IIRC.
You have probably other text browser(s) installed, I only have ''links''
(with graphics enabled).
I have performed five build-tests of xmlto-0.27
1. by the book
2. adding the switch ''--with-webbrowser=/usr/bin/links''
3. adding the switch ''--with-webbrowser="/usr/bin/links"''
4. adding the switch ''--with-webbrowser=links''
5. adding ''LINKS="/usr/bin/links"'' to the configure by the book
and had for 1, 2 and 3:
{{{
$ grep -i links ...log
--with-webbrowser=[w3m|lynx|links|any]
LINKS Name and path of the `links/elinks' browser.
checking for elinks... elinks
}}}
and one more line for 4:
{{{
checking for default web browser... links
}}}
However, for 5, I had:
{{{
--with-webbrowser=[w3m|lynx|links|any]
LINKS Name and path of the `links/elinks' browser.
checking for elinks... /usr/bin/links
}}}
Solution
{{{
If building against links, issue:
LINKS="/usr/bin/links" \
./configure --prefix=/usr
}}}
This is a bug probably introduced by a modification which is not in the
''NEWS'', only in the ''xmlto-0.0.27/ChangeLog'':
{{{
2015-01-21 Ondrej Vasik <[email protected]>
* configure.in: prefer elinks over links nowadays (suggested by
mathiaswe from Gentoo)
}}}
Relevant modifications (I suppose), comparing sources 0.26 to 0.27:
{{{
...
- LINKS Name and path of the `links' browser.
+ LINKS Name and path of the `links/elinks' browser.
...
-# Extract the first word of "links", so it can be a program name with
args.
-set dummy links; ac_word=$2
+# Extract the first word of "elinks", so it can be a program name with
args.
+set dummy elinks; ac_word=$2
...
-for as_dir in $PATH
+for as_dir in links
...
- test -z "$ac_cv_path_LINKS" && ac_cv_path_LINKS="links"
+ test -z "$ac_cv_path_LINKS" && ac_cv_path_LINKS="elinks"
...
-AC_ARG_VAR([LINKS], [Name and path of the `links' browser.])
-AC_PATH_PROG([LINKS], [links], [links])
+AC_ARG_VAR([LINKS], [Name and path of the `links/elinks' browser.])
+AC_PATH_PROG([LINKS], [elinks], [elinks], [links])
...
}}}
I am particulary suspicious with the test.
