[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #56706] make dist fails when building stable branch

[Rik]

Update of bug #56706 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Works For Me           

    _______________________________________________________

Follow-up Comment #1:

This works for me.

Did you configure with --disable-docs?

Do you have the required Qt tools to build Qt help collection files?

The qhc should be built in the doc/interpreter directory by 'make all'.  The
fact that 'make dist' is failing is just a symptom of the earlier problem.

The Makefile section to look at is in doc/interpreter/module.mk


if AMCOND_BUILD_QT_DOCS

## The Qt help collection generator command produces two output files
## with the same base name.  Use a pattern rule so that GNU Make will
## only invoke the rule once to generate both files.

%.qhc %.qch : $(OCTAVE_HTML_STAMP) $(HTMLDIR_CSS) %reldir%/mk-qthelp.pl
        $(AM_V_GEN)rm -f $(OCTAVE_QTHELP_FILES) && \
        $(PERL) $(srcdir)/%reldir%/mk-qthelp.pl octave.html
%reldir%/octave_interpreter && \
        $(QCOLLECTIONGENERATOR) $(QCOLLECTIONGENERATORFLAGS)
%reldir%/octave_interpreter.qhcp -o %reldir%/octave_interpreter.qhc >/dev/null
&& \
        rm -f %reldir%/octave_interpreter.qhcp %reldir%/octave_interpreter.qhp

endif
