When building concurrently, the doc/docbook/*_part.html files can fail to
generate. The reason is - as far as I can tell, that the %_part.html rule
in doc/docbook/Makefile.in doesn't list versionfile as a dependency, but
several of the _part.xml files actually depend on the file to be both
present and parsable. The error actually indicates the "could not load
versionfile" error - It is unclear though if it is not present or not
completely generated. But with "make -j 8", this is fails reproducibly (not
always, but very often). Changing Makefile.am as in the attached patch
seems to fix this.
Site note: Strictly speaking, most rules should also have a dependency on
the copyright file, as the output would change if the
copyrightfile changes. But since there is no rule to re-generate that file
and no generated files are shipped with the package, that seems minor.
Here is the snippet from the build log:
