Description Alexey Rusakov 2007-07-03 21:53:10 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
If I pass --disable-scrollkeeper to configure, make fails with:

Making all in help
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/RPM/BUILD/control-center-2.18.1/help'
The file '' does not exist.
Please check your ScrollKeeper installation.
make[2]: *** [control-center-C.omf] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/RPM/BUILD/control-center-2.18.1/help'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/RPM/BUILD/control-center-2.18.1'
make: *** [all] Error 2

The root of the problem is gnome-doc-utils.make taken from gnome-doc-utils 0.10.2 that was broken (see Bug 427939). It is easy to run autogen.sh before configure, but it would be great to have a correct gnome-doc-utils.make out-of-the-box.

Steps to reproduce:
1. 
2. 
3. 


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

Comment 1 Rodrigo Moya 2007-07-09 16:30:16 UTC 
So, I'm not clear on how this should be fixed. autogen.sh should update the gnome-doc-utils.make file automatically, so why is it wrong?
Comment 2 Alexey Rusakov 2007-07-10 22:34:38 UTC 
autogen.sh does update gnome-doc-utils.make, but the "bundled" gnome-doc-utils.make seems to be taken from an older version. Seems like the machine on which official tarballs are prepared, has older gnome-doc-utils installed.
Comment 3 Jens Granseuer 2007-10-06 09:28:53 UTC 
I'll assume Rodrigo has fixed his setup for more recent builds and close it now.
