gEDA-bug: [Bug 795654] Re: Build from git breaks if groff html driver not installed

[Peter TB Brett <795654@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The simplest fix for this is just to not generate HTML versions of man
pages -- I've never been convinced of the necessity of it myself,
especially when everyone and their dog has a desktop tool that generates
pretty man pages on demand.

Title:
  Build from git breaks if groff html driver not installed

Status in GPL Electronic Design Automation tools:
  New

Bug description:
  When building from sources from git, if I don't have the groff html
  driver installed, running configure with the default options gives the
  following transcript in config.log:

  configure:12599: checking whether groff has an html driver
  groff: can't find `DESC' file
  groff:fatal error: invalid device `html' (try installing the `groff' package?)
  configure:12608: result: no

  Then when I run make,  I get:

  No working groff available: cannot create gschem.html
  make: ***[gschem.html] Error 1

  It would be ideal is the build system could detect if the groff html
  driver is really required for the build earlier in the process.
