We've generally been distributing the .txt files with the .tar.gz package so that people don't have to figure out how to get linuxdoc or doxygen to run. That will take some additional effort to get that to happen when doing 'make distcheck' which I do for each release. </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> </BLOCKQUOTE> </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> <BLOCKQUOTE> The .txt generated by linuxdoc isn't a problem so as long as it isn't built by default, which is the case now. We can ignore this patch. The html generated by doxygen are a problem. It breaks "make dist". By default, html files are not generated, so the tarball creation fails. <BLOCKQUOTE> <PRE> hw/dmx/doc make[3]: *** No rule to make target `html/ChkNotMaskEv_8h_source.html', needed by `distdir'.  Stop. </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> This is the subject of the other patch (which I need to reparent): <BLOCKQUOTE> <TABLE CELLPADDING="0"> <TR> <TH NOWRAP ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top">   </TH> <TD> [PATCH xserver] dmx-doc: do not distribute generated html files. </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </BLOCKQUOTE> It won't stop a knowledgeable person from creating a tarball for a release, but it discourages developers from routinely running dist or distcheck as a good free test case. </BLOCKQUOTE> </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE>  Add </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE>   DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS = --enable-docs </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> (or whatever the ./configure option is) to the toplevel Makefile.am? </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> </BLOCKQUOTE> That will help distcheck but not dist and only if you have doxygen installed (some platforms don't).
