Starting with xmlto version 0.0.27 the return code of xmlto --skip-validation txt conftest.xml is non-zero if conftest.xml is an empty file.
As a consequence the macro XORG_WITH_XMLTO returns xmlto cannot generate text format, this format skipped and therefore libraries like libxi, libxdmcp and others won't convert docbook XML to text format. This changed behavior was introduced with the following change in xmlto: xmlto.in: use correctly exit code from xsltproc See also: https://fedorahosted.org/xmlto/changeset/77 Peter Pearse suggested to use a valid docbook XML file.

An alternate solution suggested by Helmut Grohne would be to simply add <x></x> into conftest.xml. xorg-macros.m4.in | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) diff --git a/xorg-macros.m4.in b/xorg-macros.m4.in index 9b3c503..672560b 100644 --- a/xorg-macros.m4.in +++ b/xorg-macros.m4.in @@ -428,6 +428,10 @@ fi]) # Test for the ability of xmlto to generate a text target have_xmlto_text=no cat > conftest.xml << "EOF" +<!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.3//EN" + "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.3/docbookx.dtd";> +<book id="empty_book"> +</book> EOF AS_IF([test "$have_xmlto" = yes], [AS_IF([$XMLTO --skip-validation txt conftest.xml >/dev/null 2>&1], -- 2.1.4 _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
