Is there an option to disable docs ?

you may need to do something like

curl -L https://github.com/notroj/neon/commit/e16c926419d05b80867a542d09e1ab4444bafd95.patch | patch -p1

For the second one, you might need to check with your package manager for xmlto

I am using neon as a dependency in flatpak environment, and don't need any docs.

So, is there an option to disable docs totally during build ?

[1480c1]

The only way seems to be to sed it out and just remove the whole docs section from the makefile since there are no variable guarding that section of the makefile

[notroj]

I'd just use "make install-lib install-headers install-config" or similar if you want to install everything apart from the docs?

[crvigh]

@notroj ok, but a --disable-docs will be more useful.

[notroj]

Fair enough - PR welcome for that @crvigh

Feel free to reopen if you plan to submit a PR, I don't plan to work on this since it has a simple workaround.
