Description Miles Lane 2002-08-13 02:12:32 UTC 
Currently, people are encountering build breakage in many modules
when the sgml environment isn't working.  It would be helpful if
trying to build gtk-doc would give useful errors with pointers
to putting together a working sgml processing system.

It is possible that bugs should be filed for all modules that use
your current docs/reference/<dir>/Makefile.am, since, when the 
sgml environment is busted, the builds break when an attempt is made 
to install a non-existent $(srcdir)/html/index.sgml.

I proposed to Owen that we modify the Makefile.am files so that
they would test for the presence of the file and not try to copy
it if it is missing (instead, emitting a warning that the file doesn't
exist).  Owen thought it would be better to error out with a message
saying that the sgml environment was busted and giving some pointers
to whatever is needed to fix it.

Miles, are you still care to present a patch?
Comment 8 Damon Chaplin 2006-03-25 12:13:48 UTC 
Things have changed quite a bit since the bug was added.

We use XML rather than SGML now, we use gtkdocize to update the gtk-doc make
rules used in projects, and we check for xsltproc, the DocBook DTD and the
XSL stylesheets.

So I think this bug can be closed. But reopen if you think there are remaining
issues. (But I don't think we'll be fixing the SGML stuff now.)
