Slackbuilds problem

[root]

I tried to build the elinks browser from slackbuilds. I wanted the
javascript support, so I built js185. The build for elinks
halts with an error about asciidoc.py. I disabled doc support
in the config file and the build went to completion but no
.tgz package was built. Alien Bob does not have any elinks
package.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Hello,

Any suggestions?

both packages build fine and produce .tgz-files on my plain Slackware
15.0 box using the SlackBuild scripts included and I am not experiencing
these issues during compilation.

I do only have a plain Slackware 15.0 box and can't tell if this is an
issue with CURRENT that you might have running.

Have a good day and best wishes from Germany,
Maik

My understanding is sometime after 0.16.1 autotools derived build has
been silently left behind. It's all meson now (hint: debian and ports
(that BSD thing) successfully build 0.17.* with meson(!); while gentoo
is stuck with autotools and 0.16.*).

After some deliberation I've chose not giving a fsck (I've checked
changelog -- nothing worth effort comparing with 0.16.*) and wait till
someone brighter would fix this (*SlackBuild). After all, elinks might
be dead again (3rd time? I'm certainly missing something here).

Post the error message, so it can be analyzed.

As I said in my post, the error message went away when I set
CONFIG_DOC to 0 instead of 1. Just now I went back and changed
the .h file to enable CONFIG_DOC and the make went to completion
but there was no .tgz file . So I went back to the build
and added make all, and make install and I have an elinks.
I like to have the .tgz file so I can delete the package
if I don't like it.

Thanks for responding.
