mkinstall.sh failure

[d3zd3z]

Some time between f673e98 and 84f5ad8, I stopped being able to run 'make install', with the following error. I can start bisecting if that is useful, but the problem may be more obvious to someone more familiar with the build system.

I'm having the same problem

[utkarshkukreti]

Same here.

This seems to be an issue with building vs installing the docs. The build system will happily build without all of the tools necessary to generate the docs, but 8b3c676 seems to assume they all got built, unless the user explicitly adds --disable-docs to the configure line.

I was able to work around this program by adding --disable-docs to my configure invocation. Since I mostly read the docs online (or look directly at the source), this works OK for me.

No "disable-docs", No "make install" at this time.

And nothing about this is explained in rust's documents, for now...

The pull request #20380 seems to fix this issue.

I filed an issue #19698 last month so that Rust Buildbot could catch errors like this, but no one with an access to Rust Buildbot has paid an attention to it.

I believe this one can be closed, it's fixed now (I had this problem before, but now it's gone).
