When upgrading, I noticed that "make dist" is apparently broken, as it doesn''t copy the file doc/confdir.sgml.in into the tarball it creates. (For this reason, the tarball for 2.2.90 on the website is broken and can''t compile the docs.) I''m not that familiar with the auto* tools, but editing configure.in solved the problem for me. So, here''s a patch that fixed it for me: --- fontconfig/configure.in 2003-06-26 04:19:10.000000000 -0400 +++ fontconfig-works/configure.in 2003-10-26 10:54:26.000000000 -0500 @@ -390,6 +390,7 @@ fc-list/Makefile fc-match/Makefile doc/Makefile +doc/confdir.sgml doc/version.sgml test/Makefile fontconfig.spec John Thacker -------------- next part -------------- --- fontconfig/configure.in 2003-06-26 04:19:10.000000000 -0400 +++ fontconfig-works/configure.in 2003-10-26 10:54:26.000000000 -0500 @@ -390,6 +390,7 @@ fc-list/Makefile fc-match/Makefile doc/Makefile +doc/confdir.sgml doc/version.sgml test/Makefile fontconfig.spec
