Running "make dist" requires Python support since some of the man page sources (such as man/systemd.index.xml and man/systemd.directives.xml) are generated by Python scripts, so break "make dist" and give an useful error message when Python or the Python lxml module is not available.
Tested: $ ./configure --without-python && make && make dist *** python and python-lxml module must be installed and enabled in order to make dist make: *** [dist-check-python] Error 1 --- Makefile.am | 12 ++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+) diff --git a/Makefile.am b/Makefile.am index 8a6efdf36d42..87154d9f1baf 100644 --- a/Makefile.am +++ b/Makefile.am @@ -5300,6 +5300,18 @@ DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS += \ --enable-gtk-doc endif +# +# Require python when making dist +# +.PHONY: dist-check-python +dist-check-python: +if !HAVE_PYTHON + @echo "*** python and python-lxml module must be installed and enabled in order to make dist" + @false +endif + +dist: dist-check-python + # check "broken" platforms limited toolchains for link breakage before we release .PHONY: linkcheck linkcheck: -- 1.9.3 _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
