None have sphinx installed, thus simply print: Program sphinx-build-3 sphinx-build found: NO Am I missing something? aarch64 CI machine, which has python 3.8.5 and sphinx-build 1.8.5. > My guess is that it might be the sphinx-build version here.

Running make from an existing configured or build state? If so, I have seen sphinx errors that don't stop the build (and actually building the docs without sphinx-rtd). I don't know why this happens, "regenerate"/reconfigure errors should stop the build. It seems like a minor issue to me.

If it's ready, I'll let you decide if this is acceptable during freeze period or not. Now I am not sure what should be fixed... I will try to find the cause of the non-fatal error on incremental build. thanks -- Marc-André Lureau
