[Pan-devel] gnome-doc-utils redux

[Duncan]

While I know little more about the /why/ than I did before, I bumbled 
around with the commit ( d49229012425f2662c2b7a9694c517a23f31cbff ) that 
triggered my gnome-doc-utils issues until I finally figured out what 
actual change is triggering the problem.

You and I both have been looking in Makefile.am, but that's not the 
problem.  The problem is...

configure.in, starting on line 270 (problem line 274)

 AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile
                  pan.spec
                  pan.iss
                  README.windows
+                 help/Makefile
                  po/Makefile.in
                  uulib/Makefile
                  pan/Makefile

If I delete that line, everything's fine.  Looking at the context, I see 
no conditional around that saying only to include it in the list if help 
is enabled...

That's what causes automake to error out later, since automake tries to 
create help/Makefile even when help is turned off, and help/Makefile.am 
has...

include $(top_srcdir)/gnome-doc-utils.make

... as its first line, but gnome-doc-utils.make apparently won't get 
copied to $top_srcdir unless help is turned on.

So I don't know how to do it, but that help/Makefile line apparently must 
be made conditional, however it's done...
