Thanks!  I've verified that the build now succeeds even when fig2dev and dlh 
are not present.  (Presumably the part of the doc build that depends on them 
is just skipped.)

Regards,
Tristan

I was wrong.

I confused dhl with a well known mail carrier in configure.ac.  On top
of that, I forgot to add the fig2dev check.  Fixes have been pushed and
things should be all well on master.

# Unless you `make html`.  That target is still potentially broken due
# to its sane-html and man-html dependencies.

The reason I didn't see these issues in my CI builds is because they
don't have any of the other needed utilities installed either.  The
absence of those other utilities prevented sane-html getting added to
the all target.

Hope this helps,

I don't think that that's what caused it.  I think it was introduced in
79c62362 in combination with changes in newer versions of the autotools.

There is one already ;-)  Have a look at 315435[1]

 [1] 
https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail=315435_id=30186=410366

Did you by any chance run autoreconf?  If so, could you check whether
this is reproducible with a clean checkout?  Like so

  git stash
  ./configure [options]
  make

If you can reproduce with a clean checkout then either I messed up in
79c62362 or your distribution is playing tricks on me.

Hmm, just checked the links you mentioned in your first posts and now
get the feeling I just may have forgotten to consider the case where
HTML documentation is requested, whether explicitly or not, when the
tools are not available ...

Looks like 79c62362 needs a fix after all :-(

Hope this helps,

Thanks for the tip.  I installed fig2dev (via my distribution's transfig 
package) but the build still fails:

Making all in doc
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/psy/git/sane-backends/doc'
Generating sane.pdf from sane.tex...
TEXINPUTS=".:.:$TEXINPUTS" no ./sane.tex
/bin/sh: no: command not found
Makefile:992: recipe for target 'sane-html' failed

Looks like this time the Makefile has ungracefully failed because dlh is 
missing.  Installing dlh fixes this second problem.

Should I file a bug report for these problems?

Regards,
Tristan

Hmm, sounds like fig2dev is missing on your machine, and we mistakenly
tested for it and let the string 'no' sneak thru when it was not
found. Looks like Olaf worked on this in cc8f99b9
