Dear devs, Can We build the user's guide without building the ghc binary? If so, new contributors can easily check the generated html. When I execute the following command, a binary build is always executed. # vi mk/build.mk (BuildFlavour = quick; BUILD_SPHINX_HTML = YES) # ./boot # ./configure # cd docs/users_guide/ # make html Is there a way to skip binary builds? Regards, Takenobu

Sadly no. I would like to make this possible, but currently we rely on the stage1 ghc library to extract information about flags. Cheers, - Ben
Hi Ben, I see, it is necessary to generate flags. (docs/users_guide/flags-*.rst) Thank you very much for the explanation. Regards, Takenobu 2017-01-29 8:56 GMT+09:00 Ben Gamari <ben@smart-cactus.org>:
