The people that know they need to build all the docs in all formats are also aware of the options and can pass --with-fop to all modules. That has the added advantage that configure would error if they didn't have the correct components instead of silently continuing. On the other hand, random builders who happen to have fop installed will have their build time massively increased for a benefit they probably don't want anyway. Honestly, unless you're building specifically to create documentation, why would you want pdfs of all the compose charts? </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> I suspected as much. Why not making "no" the default for all modules. I am always looking at the "consistent" side of things. It's always harder to document in the release notes that "all modules works this way, except this one..." <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> <PRE> If people want this, no big deal, but can you at least post a difference building --with-fop and --without-fop? I have old fop on my system and it's failing to build. </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> I have not done a lot of runs, but the compose table take 3-4 mins per outpout format. The tables and the libX11 specs are the 2 biggest docs of all.
