I don't think that that's what caused it. I think it was introduced in 79c62362 in combination with changes in newer versions of the autotools. > Thanks for the tip.

There is one already ;-) Have a look at 315435[1] [1] https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=315435&group_id=30186&atid=410366 Did you by any chance run autoreconf? If so, could you check whether this is reproducible with a clean checkout? Like so git stash ./configure [options] make If you can reproduce with a clean checkout then either I messed up in 79c62362 or your distribution is playing tricks on me. Hmm, just checked the links you mentioned in your first posts and now get the feeling I just may have forgotten to consider the case where HTML documentation is requested, whether explicitly or not, when the tools are not available ... Looks like 79c62362 needs a fix after all :-( Hope this helps, -- Olaf Meeuwissen, LPIC-2 FSF Associate Member since 2004-01-27 GnuPG key: F84A2DD9/B3C0 2F47 EA19 64F4 9F13 F43E B8A4 A88A F84A 2DD9 Support Free Software https://my.fsf.org/donate Join the Free Software Foundation https://my.fsf.org/join -- sane-devel mailing list: sane-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sane-devel Unsubscribe: Send mail with subject "unsubscribe your_password" to sane-devel-requ...@lists.alioth.debian.org
