Reverted, removed the second hunk about dev-libs/check, and further adjusted. The tarball already contains the man page and gengetopt generated command line parsing, so these checks are useless to us. From fbd340d1c777e23b66ef27ce1c03c4eb3bafc511 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thordur Bjornsson Date: Thu, 12 Jan 2017 14:28:31 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] auto: Check for help2man/gengetopt, and bail out if not found. Both are required to build. While here, if `--enable-tests` passed, check for `check` and if not found, bail out as well. --- configure.ac | 11 +++++++++-- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/configure.ac b/configure.ac index ad409a2..6decb78 100644 --- b/configure.ac +++ a/configure.ac @@ -43,14 +43,7 @@ LT_INIT([win32-dll]) AM_MISSING_PROG(HELP2ADOC, help2adoc, $missing_dir) AM_MISSING_PROG(HELP2MAN, help2man, $missing_dir) -if ! which help2man >/dev/null ; then - AC_MSG_ERROR([help2man missing]) -fi -if ! which gengetopt >/dev/null ; then - AC_MSG_ERROR([gengetopt missing]) -fi - gl_LD_VERSION_SCRIPT PKG_CHECK_MODULES([LIBJSON], [json-c], [], [
