The release and prerelease archives contain the prebuilt docs. make is not supposed to do anything in the /doc subdir, but in order to install the prebuilt docs, make install should run in /doc even if dtdparse and dtdformat are not present. This allows us to use the convenient doc installation routines of the autotools, but it means that the lack of these tools must not turn off the processing of /doc. As you have noticed, this means for the svn version that make will attempt to build the docs even if the necessary tools are not around. I consider this the lesser of two evils, as someone building from svn can be expected to read the manual which lists the prerequisites. The configure checks for these tools should therefore be treated as a warning, not an error. regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka [email protected] (Spam-protected email: replace the quadrupeds with "mhoenicka") http://www.mhoenicka.de ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
