#15218: HEAD doesn't build without sphinx-build -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: jrp | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: 8.6.1 Component: Build System | Version: 8.4.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Linux | Architecture: x86_64 Type of failure: Building GHC | (amd64) failed | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by bgamari): I'm not sure I agree that `validate` should pass if sphinx-build is missing. `Validate` is intended to serve as a comprehensive check of the tree; this includes checking that the documentation is buildable. If you want to build without documentation, I would suggest not using `validate` and configure `mk/build.mk` appropriately: {{{ BUILD_SPHINX_HTML = NO BUILD_SPHINX_PDF = NO }}} -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15218#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
