mchehab / zbar

ZBar is an open source software suite for reading bar codes from various sources, including webcams. As its development stopped in 2012, I took the task of keeping it updated with the V4L2 API. This is the main repository for it. There's a clone at at LinuxTV.org, and another one at gitlab.

Build error: no man-pages build. #146

I am trying to build the latest zbar-0.23.1 with GCC-10.2.0. I am using:

$ ./configure --with-gtk=auto --with-python=python3 --prefix=/foo/baa/zbar-0.23.1

The configure step works well:

please verify that the detected configuration matches your expectations:

gettext yes X --with-x=yes pthreads --enable-pthread=yes doc --enable-doc=yes v4l --enable-video=yes jpeg --with-jpeg=yes Python --with-python=python3 python3.8 GTK --with-gtk=gtk3 Gtk3.24.23 GObject introspection --with-gir=no Qt --with-qt=no
Java --with-java=yes Dbus --with-dbus=yes ImageMagick --with-imagemagick=check Enabled codes: ean databar code128 code93 code39 codabar i25 qrcode sqcode Disabled codes: pdf417 JAVA_HOME /opt/software/build/software/Java/11.0.2

    => libv4l will *NOT* be used
    => the Qt widget will *NOT* be built
    => the Java unit test will *NOT* be enabled

However, make install fails here:

/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 include/zbar.h '/tmp/zbar-0.23.1/include' make[4]: Entering directory '/home/sassy/easybuild/OTPClient/zbar/zbar-0.23.1' : --searchpath /home/sassy/easybuild/OTPClient/zbar/zbar-0.23.1/doc -m /home/sassy/easybuild/OTPClient/zbar/zbar-0.23.1/doc/style.xsl --skip-validation -o doc/man man doc/manual.xml make[4]: Leaving directory '/home/sassy/easybuild/OTPClient/zbar/zbar-0.23.1' make[4]: Entering directory '/home/sassy/easybuild/OTPClient/zbar/zbar-0.23.1' : --searchpath /home/sassy/easybuild/OTPClient/zbar/zbar-0.23.1/doc -m /home/sassy/easybuild/OTPClient/zbar/zbar-0.23.1/doc/style.xsl --skip-validation -o doc/man man doc/manual.xml make[4]: Leaving directory '/home/sassy/easybuild/OTPClient/zbar/zbar-0.23.1' /bin/mkdir -p '/tmp/zbar-0.23.1/share/man/man1' /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./doc/man/zbarimg.1 ./doc/man/zbarcam.1 '/tmp/zbar-0.23.1/share/man/man1' /usr/bin/install: cannot stat './doc/man/zbarimg.1': No such file or directory /usr/bin/install: cannot stat './doc/man/zbarcam.1': No such file or directory make[3]: [Makefile:1722: install-man1] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/sassy/easybuild/OTPClient/zbar/zbar-0.23.1' make[2]: [Makefile:2209: install-am] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/sassy/easybuild/OTPClient/zbar/zbar-0.23.1' make[1]: [Makefile:1897: install-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/sassy/easybuild/OTPClient/zbar/zbar-0.23.1' make: [Makefile:2203: install] Error 2

(ignore I am trying to install it in /tmp/zbar-0.23.1 this is for debugging only)

Any idea where I get it wrong?

Thanks

Update: the problem was a missing system xmlto. However, one would have thought as configure is checking for that, and if it is not installed the man-pages will simply not being build, rather then trying to build them and then failing when make install is executed.

Hi @berkaytuna

yes, thanks. What I am after is that config should pick that up and not try to install the man-pages and then fails. I wrote an EasyBuild Configuration (EC) file for that and this is where I tripped over that. That is what I am after in the long run. :-)

Fair enough. I'm working on a patchset to improve the configure script to better handle things like this.

Happy to try the patch and update the EC once it is done. Just let me know. Thanks for your help.
