Description theophile 2003-12-20 18:07:34 UTC
Trying to build with the same script that worked fine for 0.7.2, on this
version dies with this:

make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/gnome/sources/gstreamer-0.7.3/docs/faq'
make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/gnome/sources/gstreamer-0.7.3/docs/faq'
make[3]: Nothing to be done for `install-exec-am'.

It looks like 'jw' is being called with no arguments. 'make install' dies
with this error every time, even if --disable-docs-build is passed to
./configure.
Comment 1 Richard Kinder 2004-01-07 22:48:11 UTC
Workaround is to pass --enable-docs-build=no (not logical I know). My
failure is different:

Comment 2 Thomas Vander Stichele 2004-02-06 17:33:16 UTC
can you retry from scratch.  This time, attach output of configure and
make, so I can see what it tries to do and what you might be missing
and what I need to fix.
