[raised per request from karltk] Part of java-gnome 2.8.2 ebuild at http://www.operationaldynamics.com/reference/software/gentoo/
This ebuild bombed on my machine with: ---- configure: error: docbook not found in /sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/lib/portage/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/i586-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/3.3:/opt/intel/compiler80/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.06/bin:/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.06/jre/bin:/opt/ ---- Apparently, there's a missing DEPEND. I also suggest the following modifications: 1) Rewrite the spurious mkdir -p to dodir 3) May fix indentation in DEPEND and RDEPEND to be 8-space/tab compliant
There are some Make targets in doc/ which depend on docbook2html. VERY old, and mostly unused at this point, but the dependency check is hardcoded into an autoconf macro, and hacking that out has implications down the trcak. I'm checking with upstream what to do about this longer term. But since we don't need it right now, I will patch it out. Attachment later today.

Fixed. Available for testing on x86 and ppc.
Created attachment 44085 [details, diff] Remove the autoconf macro which checks for docbook Fix removes the autoconf dependency check looking for DocBook (since the code which uses it upstream is deprecated or broken or borked, and neither we nor upstream call the make targets which use it). My ebuilds at http://www.operationaldynamics.com/reference/software/gentoo/ have been updated. AfC Atlanta
