Fontconfig - Nov 2005 - Installed 2.1.94 - dependencies, fails to read win\fonts and lo

The good news. I built from cvs by deleting docs from makefile.am. fc-cache 
now works with the windows fonts directory. *.fon no longer cause seg. 
faults. Great work - 2.2 looks ready.

But...the cvs mytery remains.

1. I do have docbook2html ( and docbook2txt and
docbook2man.

Perhaps that should be fixed.

2. So configure finds it. From configure.log:

configure:9756: checking for docbook2html
configure:9772: found /usr/bin/docbook2html
configure:9783: result: yes
configure:9966: creating ./config.status

3. config.status has:

s,@HASDOCBOOK@,yes,;t t
s,@ENABLE_DOCS_TRUE@,#,;t t
s,@ENABLE_DOCS_FALSE@,,;t t
s,@DOCDIR@,${datadir}/doc/fontconfig,;t t

So it expects to build the docs, because it has docbook2*, but fails.

FWIW, I also deleted docbook2html

Which gave config.status:
s,@HASDOCBOOK@,no,;t t
s,@ENABLE_DOCS_TRUE@,#,;t t
s,@ENABLE_DOCS_FALSE@,,;t t
s,@DOCDIR@,${datadir}/doc/fontconfig,;t t

which failed to build with the *same* problem.

I hope it gives you some hint - I''m befuddled.

In any event - congrats on 2.2

I think we''re going to have to live with this particular mystery; it
won''t
be a problem for people building from the package, and perhaps we can fix 
it in CVS at some point in the future.  I guess neither of us know enough 
about automake/autoconf to figure out where the problem actually lies.

This looks like you said ''--disable-docs'' on the autogen.sh
command line
but the configure script did manage to find docbook2html.  Remember that 
when building from CVS, you cannot use ''--disable-docs'' as the
pre-built
documentation isn''t present in the CVS repository.  If you
didn''t use
''--disable-docs'', then we''ve a fine autoconf
mystery...

Thanks for testing CVS to make sure the .fon bug was squashed.
