Problem description
Fetching the Pinentry source code from Git repository, and then executing:
./configure --enable-maintainer-mode --disable-doc
produces following warning:
configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --disable-doc
Configure script succeeds, however subsequent execution of:
make
fails with:
/usr/local/src/gpg-build-scripts/build/pinentry/build-aux/missing: line 81: makeinfo: command not found
WARNING: 'makeinfo' is missing on your system.
You should only need it if you modified a '.texi' file, or
any other file indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual.
You might want to install the Texinfo package:
<https://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/>
The spurious makeinfo call might also be the consequence of
using a buggy 'make' (AIX, DU, IRIX), in which case you might
want to install GNU make:
<https://www.gnu.org/software/make/>
Makefile:404: recipe for target 'pinentry.info' failed
make[2]: *** [pinentry.info] Error 127
make[2]: Leaving directory '/usr/local/src/gpg-build-scripts/build/pinentry/doc'Taking into account that most of other components do support --disable-doc option, and that this option removes plenty of dependencies (including Makeinfo), I believe that current behavior is a bug.
Steps to reproduce the issue
In a fresh instance of Ubuntu Xenial (booted with docker run -it ubuntu:xenial /bin/bash):
apt-get update apt-get install -y automake bison gettext git # Install Pinentry prerequisites from Git with `--disable-doc` configure option # (I am not 100% sure which ones, I had libgpg-error, libgcrypt, libassuan, libksba, # and npth all installed). # Exact steps are not shown here. git clone git://git.gnupg.org/pinentry cd pinentry ./autogen.sh ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode --disable-doc make
Expected behaviour
Pinentry should does not build documentation if --disable-doc has been passed to a ./configure script.
My Bash session
Here goes full record of my Bash session in fresh instance of Ubuntu Xenial from Docker image. Prerequisite GnuPG components (libgpg-error, libassuan, etc.) have been installed from Git head as well, but this is not shown here.
