Subject: Build fails when Xsltproc not present
Sender: owner-linux-modules@vger.kernel.org
List-ID: <linux-modules.vger.kernel.org>

I found in building kmod 23 that because my system does not have
Xsltproc installed, the build fails when it tries to use a null string
as the Xsltproc program name to create the man pages.

I believe in that case, it should just skip building the man pages.

Or make 'configure' fail and suggest --disable-manpages.

Or make the make fail gracefully, telling you you don't have the tools
necessary to create man pages and suggesting --disable-manpages.
