Description Elijah Newren 2006-06-08 18:11:36 UTC 
If xmlto is not installed and docbook documentation is built, the following
error message occurs at build time:

no html-nochunks polkit-spec.xml
make[3]: no: Command not found
make[3]: *** [polkit-spec.html] Error 127
make[3]: Leaving directory `/floss/building/gnome/PolicyKit/doc/spec'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/floss/building/gnome/PolicyKit/doc'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/floss/building/gnome/PolicyKit'
make: *** [all] Error 2

This is caused by XMLTO being set to 'no' by configure.  This has tripped up a
few people trying to build all of Gnome + dependencies.  I'll attach a patch in
a minute the provides an error message shown at configure time.

This bug report is for the old version of PolicyKit. Closing as all of the code has been rewritten. Please reopen if the bug report applies to the latest version of PolicyKit. Thanks.
