Description

When configuring and building xapian, the step to build the xapian-config.1 file fails in xapian-core, if the help2man binary is not found on the system.

It seems configure does not check for this.

The rule to rebuild xapian-config.1 is only active in you configure with --enable-maintainer-mode. Using this switch should cause configure to fail if any documentation building tools aren't found (including help2man). So I can't see how this can happen!

Can you attach your config.log?

Seems my sandbox was somehow broken. It works in a fresh svn checkout.
