Bug 405703 – sys-apps/systemd-43 should depend on app-text/docbook2X if man pages are to be built

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Canek Peláez Valdés 2012-02-25 07:32:50 UTC]

sys-apps/systemd-43 fails to compile in a system without libxslt (which contains xsltproc). The ebuild should:

a) depend on dev-libs/libxslt, or
b) provide a USE flag (recommended "doc") for building the man pages

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install systemd in a system without libxslt
2. Watch the emerge fail
3.
Actual Results:  
The build fails with the following message:

  GEN    src/login/logind-gperf.c
  CC     src/login/user-sessions.o
  CC     src/login/systemd_multi_seat_x-multi-seat-x.o
  CC     src/login/systemd_uaccess-uaccess.o
  CC     src/login/systemd_uaccess-logind-acl.o
  CC     src/systemd_uaccess-acl-util.o
  CC     src/getty-generator.o
  CC     src/unit-name.o
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `man/systemd.html', needed by `all-am'.  Stop.


Expected Results:  
The systemd ebuild should either depend on libxslt, or provide a way to disable the building of man pages.

This happens in a really minimal machine, with the following USE flags:

[ebuild   R   #] sys-apps/systemd-43  USE="acl pam tcpd -audit -cryptsetup -lzma -plymouth (-selinux)" 0 kB

I tested now trying to build the man pages; systemd-43 actually needs docbook2X (which by the way pulls also libxslt). Changed the bug title accordingly.

In my case app-text/docbook2X is not installed and systemd-43 is built fine.
But installed next packages:


$ eix -Ic docbook

[I] app-text/docbook-xsl-ns-stylesheets (1.76.1{tbz2}@21.12.2011): XSL Stylesheets for Docbook

I don't have docbook2X and it builds fine. Please try with docbook-xml-stylesheets (bug 410615).

Works for me with only docbook-xml-stylesheets installed. Could it be that docbook-xml-stylesheets only gets pulled if a "doc" USE flag is used?
