Re: [avr-libc-dev] Building documentation in MinGW/MSYS

Sorry I'm responding so late to this; I didn't receive this message and I
seem to be having intermittent problems with my subscription. :-( I only
noticed Joerg's response after perusing the archives.

I agree with you, I'm not very happy about that one either. I couldn't find
a quick fix, and it seemed harmless enough to remove and it solved my
immediate problem. I agree that there should be a dependency there. But I
couldn't figure out how to get this working in the autotools. If anyone has
a better idea, I'm certainly open to it.

Well it took so long to install the full version that I doubt I'll go back
to the basic installation to find out! :-)
