On a Debian system lacking the w3c-dtd-xhtml package the build fails with: $ make -C docs/ formatcaps.html make: Entering directory '/local/scratch/ianc/devel/libvirt.git/docs' Generating formatcaps.html.tmp I/O error : Attempt to load network entity http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd formatcaps.html.in:2: warning: failed to load external entity "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd" C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd" ^ I/O error : Attempt to load network entity http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd ../docs/sitemap.html.in:2: warning: failed to load external entity "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd" C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd" ^ missing XHTML1 DTD rm formatcaps.html.tmp make: Leaving directory '/local/scratch/ianc/devel/libvirt.git/docs' $ ls docs/formatcaps* docs/formatcaps.html.in https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2009-November/msg00413.html suggests that the XHTML1 DTD should not be a hard requirement and the docs should be generated but not validated if it is not available. Therefore when the DTD is not available arrange for the .html.tmp file to be propagated to the .html output.
