[jengelh]

configure.ac fails to handle the absence of asciidoc.

[AaronNGray]

@jengelh you obviously must have the 'b' command avaliable on your platform. I cannot seem to find which package it is in. I was wondering if you know what package it is in using dpkg -S b failing that could give me the results of running a which b please.

[jengelh]

'b' is not a command. You will find that, because ./configure has not found any asciidoc, the @ASCIIDOC@ autoconf-level variable is empty, hence doc/colm/Makefile.am's ASCIIDOC = @ASCIIDOC@ also leads to ${ASCIIDOC} (make-level variable) being empty, and with that,

.adoc.html:
        $(ASCIIDOC) -b $(OUTPUT) $(OPTIONS) -o $@ $<

this rule obviously does not execute anything sensible when ASCIIDOC is empty.

[AaronNGray]

@jengelh cool thank you, building and installing now.

[jengelh]

I mean the bug is still there (configure.ac should error out unless --disable-manual or something is given), so perhaps keep the issue open. (Me I'm just a passer-by)

[AaronNGray]

Okay reopened, I am just using Colm for another of Adrian's Projects.

[Jakub41]

Hello, in a project I have the same issue with Colm. What should I do to make it work? Thanks

[AaronNGray]

If you are on Linux install the 'asciidoc' package.

[Tom-python0121]

@AaronNGray You're right, and I did address my question:

[rmosolgo]

I don't see it mentioned above, so I'll share it here. On mac, I fixed this by installing asciidoc with homebrew:

brew install asciidoc

After that, colm installed successfully.
