Fontconfig build fails while generating fontconfig-user.pdf

[skylize]

Package fontconfig-infinality-remix fails to build after receiving an error code from pdfTex. Same occurs running makepkg -sci on github repo. (I can't install the package just because the docs are mangled. :rofl: )

i get this error make[3]: *** [Makefile:1351: fontconfig-user.pdf] Error 9 when i try to build this package

so i build it with --disable-docs and everything works

@ajP89 Where do I put this? I am getting this pdf error.

[ajP89]

i'm not sure....try makepkg -sci --disable-docs. I myself downlaoded from AUR and it installed without issues.

[nero-0]

Yea, I tried, it doesn't work. Weird... it seems to happen with only a few people.

[pdeljanov]

That's.. interesting. I compiled and installed it no problem a while ago, but I can't build it now. Perhaps something within a latex package has changed...

[nero-0]

Good to know... I hope you find the problem wherever it is.

[skylize]

Glad its reproducable. Any vague estimate on when you might get to fixing this? Suggestions on a workaround in the meantime?

[pdeljanov]

Should be fixed now. The official Arch PKGBUILD is also broken in the same way, so I disabled docs for now. Once the official Arch package updates hopefully we can re-enable them. The fontconfig-docs package can be installed if anyone needs the documentation.

[skylize]

Thanks. Confirmed, building correctly on my system. Definitely think docs are pretty secondary to the goals of the package. Strongly support the decision to simply remove them from the build to keep installation working. 👍🏼
