Okay, I finally got the SGML DocBook tools updated in BLFS and installed on a local system. Here's what the deal is with FontConfig: --disable-docs only suppresses the building and installation of documentation. THE MAN PAGES ARE STILL BUILT AND INSTALLED IF THE DOCBOOK2HTML PROGRAM IS FOUND. To me, this is could be better documented and better configure checks could be provided by the Fontconfig package. The package currently checks for the existence of docbook2html but uses docbook2man, even if you pass --disable-docs. This means if you have installed docbook-utils, you better also install the SGMLSpm Perl module or the Fontconfig build will fail. I will update the Fontconfig section in BLFS to make this known. Otherwise, things are okay with Fontconfig. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 12:02:01 up 26 days, 22:06, 5 users, load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.09 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
