Error building Ubuntu 16.04

[coreybruce]

I get Makefile:146 error when I do sudo make docs and sudo make install

sudo make docs a2x --format manpage man/compton.1.asciidoc a2x: ERROR: "xmllint" --nonet --noout --valid "/tmp/compton/man/compton.1.xml" returned non-zero exit status 127 Makefile:146: recipe for target 'man/compton.1' failed make: *** [man/compton.1] Error 1 corey@stuart-laptop:/tmp/compton$ sudo make install a2x --format manpage man/compton.1.asciidoc a2x: ERROR: "xmllint" --nonet --noout --valid "/tmp/compton/man/compton.1.xml" returned non-zero exit status 127 Makefile:146: recipe for target 'man/compton.1' failed make: *** [man/compton.1] Error 1 Am I missing something?

Also I suggest better documentation on dependencies needed when installing compton like for example on ubuntu based systems as I needed to install libglu1-mesa-dev freeglut3-dev, mesa-common-dev as well as the libconfig-dev but will also depend on the distro your using but these stuff need to be noted for distros in use.

This issue occurs when building man files. To skip building them do the folowing: Delete the following lines in the Makefile:

man/%.1: man/%.1.asciidoc
	a2x --format manpage $<

man/%.1.html: man/%.1.asciidoc
	asciidoc $
docs: $(MANPAGES) $(MANPAGES_HTML)

ifneq "$(MANPAGES)" ""
	@install -m644 $(MANPAGES) "$(DESTDIR)$(MANDIR)"/
endif

@rm -f $(addprefix "$(DESTDIR)$(MANDIR)"/, compton.1 compton-trans.1)

Replace

@install -d "$(DESTDIR)$(BINDIR)" "$(DESTDIR)$(MANDIR)" "$(DESTDIR)$(APPDIR)"

with

@install -d "$(DESTDIR)$(BINDIR)"  "$(DESTDIR)$(APPDIR)"

and

@rm -f $(OBJS) compton $(MANPAGES) $(MANPAGES_HTML) .clang_complete

with

@rm -f $(OBJS) compton .clang_complete
