Request build flag to turn off docs creation #95

Open gbpoole opened 2 years ago

gbpoole commented 2 years ago

May I humbly request a build switch that would allow us to build and install Stow while skipping the build of the docs. Having to build latex to build Stow is very wasteful and frustrating for my use case.

I run Stow on a lot of different systems and I often run into the sort of build errors reported in issue #96

Latex distributions can differ significantly and this sort of thing really adds to the frustration of always needing to build the docs.

Yes this is a perfectly reasonable request.
