Subject: coreutils-8.24 - documentation installation targets fail in some
 sub-directories
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2015 21:23:41 +1000

Greetings,

One last quick bug report for the day. Still coreutils-8.24 on Solaris
10 and Solaris 11 on X86 VMs.

The installation of built documentation (dvi,ps,pdf) requires the use
of the gmake(1) option '-k' to avoid failing in sub-trees not
supporting these phony make targets.

Successful Steps:

	gmake pdf ps dvi

Unsuccessful Steps:

	gmake install-pdf install-ps install-dvi

Workaround Steps:

	gmake -k install-pdf install-ps install-dvi

Given the nature of the coreutils build process (mostly non-recursive),
maybe these phony targets don't need to be invoked recursively, but
once again I'm guessing, and have not explored the problem completely.

Regards,

Peter Bray

PS: Yes, all packages are being built with unique installation
prefixes, and the "scaffolding" suffix relates to the build phase of
the larger project.
