Can you tell me what "grep -e HAVE_DOCTOOLS -e INSTALL_MANPAGES config.status" gives? What happens if you do a full "git clean -Xdf" and then start again? It seems like this would only be happening with stale files. -- Dan </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> I have a theory. Removing the .man files should clear the problem. This can be done by running make maintainer-clean as well. The 2 step process. Convert .txt to .man using asciidoc and convert .man to .3 using sed. If asciidoc is disabled but if you have .man, then sed is invoked to create .3 files. In this case, the .man files are probably present but broken due to earlier run with asciidoc at the wrong level. They are are not removed by "clean", only by maintainer-clean. We have not tested with broken .man files. </BLOCKQUOTE> This test is done at configure time, so if this file is removed afterwards, or if other .man are missing, the makefile will try to generated .3 from .man. <BLOCKQUOTE> <PRE> # Determine if the source for man pages is available # It may already be present (tarball) or can be generated using doctools AM_CONDITIONAL([INSTALL_MANPAGES], [test -f "$srcdir/man/XAllowDeviceEvents.man" || \   test $have_doctools = yes]) </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> Running make maintainer-clean and ./autogen.sh should restore the build in a consistent state. <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> <PRE> _______________________________________________ xorg-devel mailing list <A HREF="mailto:xorg-devel@lists.x.org">xorg-devel@lists.x.org</A> <A HREF="http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel">http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel</A> </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> <PRE> _______________________________________________ xorg-devel mailing list <A HREF="mailto:xorg-devel@lists.x.org">xorg-devel@lists.x.org</A> <A HREF="http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel">http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel</A> </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> </BODY> </HTML>
