Hi all, in our ongoing uphill struggle to finally ship 0.9.0 I've made a few modifications to how docs are handled by the build system. This was triggered by a request of Debian and Ubuntu packagers who prefer to install the docs separately instead of by default. The following changes were implemented:
- the --disable-docs configure switch is gone - make and make install build and install only the library, headers, and support files (.pc and such), but no docs - the new targets doc and install-doc build the documentation. Keep in mind that the tarballs contain the prebuilt docs, so the end-user will have to run only make install-doc to install local copies of the docs - make dist packages everything including the docs, and builds the docs if not done yet - make maintainer-clean also cleans the (maintainer-built) docs - a long-standing bug which would cause the HTML docs to be built over and over again on some filesystems due to a race condition was "fixed" by inserting a sleep call If you want to test-drive the current revison, please either retrieve the current revision from the CVS repository, or download this packaged prerelease: http://libdbi.sourceforge.net/downloads/libdbi-0.9.0-pre3.tar.gz Remember that you can install the stuff into a scrap directory without affecting your current libdbi installation by setting DESTDIR appropriately, e.g.: make DESTDIR=$HOME/scrap install-doc Comments and suggestions are more than welcome. regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka http://www.mhoenicka.de AQ score 38 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ libdbi-devel mailing list libdbi-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/libdbi-devel
