[Privoxy-devel] Test building docs

[Ian Silvester]

Thanks Fabian,

As it goes I'm running Gentoo so my make is GNU; gmake dok dok-tidy gives the same error as make does.

I must admit to feeling quite dumb here - I'm in the privoxy directory yet so far as I can tell from the error make is behaving as though it can see a Makefile, just not one containing the dok target. The files are most definitely there though. I thought opendoc/jade would be the difficulty but I'm not even getting that far!

Anyone got any other suggestions?

Thanks,

Ian
