[Slackbuilds-users] graphcis/fontforge: Fails to build (for me)

[Erich Ritz]

Is it just me, or did the latest update to fontforge break the build?

I do not build with the optional Sphinx dependency, which I assume is the reason it fails.

Here is the tail end of my build log:

This new line added to the SlackBuild is the culprit:

mv $PKG/usr/share/doc/$PRGNAM/* $PKG/usr/doc/$PRGNAM-$VERSION

I commented it out and the build succeeded, and as expected the resulting package does not contain /usr/share/doc.
