I'll work on it, though. Hmmm. In that case the makefile is being silly, since we ship pre-built docs in the tarball... It looks like if you don't have hevea, htlatex or latex2html installed, darcs just won't rebuild the html docs, so changing the build-deps to not include any of these programs may solve the immediate problem (albeit in a hokey manner). > Since darcs_print.ps ultimately depends on the preproc executable, > and since that binary is (presumably) not included in the tarball, > when that gets rebuilt the dependencies of darcs_print.ps are > modified and make is forced to rebuild them. > That might not be the exact reason that the docs get rebuilt, but to > verify the problem, just unpack the tarball, configure, and make > darcs_print.ps... it goes through and builds everything. Indeed, that's pretty silly. > David, let me know if you can solve this in short order, otherwise > I'll dig into it. I'm afraid I won't have time for this. There are some clever folks on darcs-devel who might be able to work out a nice solution... ---------- messages: 391 nosy: droundy, ijones, tommy status: unread title: darcs makefile builds documentation too much ____________________________________ Darcs issue tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.darcs.net/issue102> ____________________________________ _______________________________________________ darcs-devel mailing list [email protected] http://www.abridgegame.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/darcs-devel
