[Refdb-devel] CVS build problem: doc build fails with missing dependency

[David Nebauer]

Hi Markus,

With workarounds for the earlier problems, the build now fails due to a
missing dependency on 'citestylex/ele-desc/*':

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Creating HTML manual...
rm -rf refdb-manual/*
mkdir -p refdb-manual && cd refdb-manual && openjade -t sgml -d
../../doc/include/doc-html.dsl /usr/share/refdb/declarations/docbook.dcl
../../doc/refdb-manual.sgml
cp manual.css refdbmanualfig1.png refdbmanualfig2.png

Parse complete.
Writing citestylex.xml...
Done.

As near as I can tell from the makefile, it truly is missing a rule for
that target.

The files citestylex/ele-desc/* are in CVS. Maybe you did not use the
-d switch when cvs-updating your sources?

It's slightly spooky the way you pick the exact nature of my error from
so far away. That was indeed the problem. Fixing it also fixed a
number of other problems.

This is what happens when you use tools without fully understanding them.

The simplest explanation is the correct one in this case: I've fooled
myself this way a couple of times :->
