rst2html is required, but ./configure only produces a warning #5

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

Steps to reproduce (linux, neatx-0.3.1):
1. ./configure
says "WARNING: rst2html not found, documentation rebuild will not be possible"
2. make
dies with "rst2html not found during configure"

./configure should die when rst2html is not found or generate makefile that
doesn't require it

Note: Ganeti (http://code.google.com/p/ganeti/) fixed this a while ago.

I've had a look at ganeti's git repo, but haven't been able to figure out what 
change
imsnah is referring to

The configure script looks for rst2html but (on my openSUSE install) it's called
rst2html.py. The script then looks for rst2html[$ac_executable_extensions] but I
can't seem to find where this $ac_executable_extensions is set. 

(I fixed it by making a symbolic link from rst2html to rst2html.py)

ac_executable_extensions is likely for systems on which all programs have 
certain
extensions (e.g. “.exe” on Windows). You should be able to use
--with-rst2html=/usr/bin/rst2html.py for configure.

Compiling on OpenSolaris 2009.06 build 117 had the same issue,
--with-rst2html=/usr/bin/rst2html reported:
configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-rst2html

I worked around the problem by putting
ac_executable_extensions=${ac_executable_extensions-'.py'}

into the configure file, but I'm sure thats not the best way.

Oh, I got it wrong. It's “./configure RST2HTML=/usr/bin/rst2html.py”.

I have a patch out for review to fix the original issue (that of make failing if
rst2html isn't available)

configure still fails to find rst2html.py, would it be possible to change 
configure
so it looks for rst2html.py?

@wibaje: i've taken another look at this, and changed how things work a bit. 
Sending a 
patch out for review that should work with both rst2html and rst2html.py.

Just in case someone comes here for answer,
I fixed this issue when trying to install Midori by installing the pkg 
"Docutils"  & was very easy install as well,just follow the readme inside pkg.
You need to have python installed
