In fontconfig/doc: /home/trs80/bin/install-check -m 644 ./fontconfig-devel/r1159.html /scratch/gnometinderbox/microtinder/build-output/share/doc/fontconfig/fontconfig-devel/fontconfig-devel/r1159.html ie, the makefile tries to install the generated files in fontconfig-devel/*html into fontconfig-devel/fontconfig-devel/*html. I think this is caused by the makefile referring to these files as $(HTML_DIR)/* where HTML_DIR is fontconfig-devel
I suspect your version of automake/autoconf are old; newer versions construct the destination path for the devel docs to explicitly remove all directory names.
