Hi, I'm not 100% sure if this list is the correct place to post this, since I think it details a change/clarification to the book, but here it goes anyway:
The Fontconfig installation refers to the Docbook-utils package for the building of documentation. However, when the docbook-utils package is installed, the documentation is always built, i.e. it seems like the "--disable-docs" option has no effect, in that the configure script picks up the docbook-utils package and decides to build the documentation. Ok, that out of the way. The other (bigger) issue is that the docbook-utils package only requires the "docbook-sgml-dtd 3.1" package, not the 4.4 one in addition to the 3.1 package. At the same time Fontconfig only lists an optional docbook-utils, but fails on the document build with only the docbook-utils package (and dependancies installed) without the docbook-sgml-dtd 4.4 package, i.e. the building of the documents require this 4.4 dtd since it uses the OASIS SGML 4.1 DTD, listed as part of the 4.4 installation instructions. I'm not sure if this requirement for the 4.4 dtd's is to be listed as optional in fontconfig or docbook-utils, but for complete list allowing fontconfig builds without errors, it is to be shown somewhere.
