Are you sure .. may I do something wrong:: $ make DOCBOOKS=kernel-api.xml htmldocs SPHINX htmldocs Running Sphinx v1.4.4 loading pickled environment... done building [mo]: targets for 0 po files that are out of date building [html]: targets for 0 source files that are out of date updating environment: 0 added, 0 changed, 0 removed looking for now-outdated files... none found no targets are out of date. build succeeded. DOCPROC Documentation/DocBook/kernel-api.xml .//lib/crc32.c:148: warning: No description found for parameter 'tab)[256]' .//lib/crc32.c:148: warning: Excess function parameter 'tab' description in 'crc32_le_generic' .//lib/crc32.c:293: warning: No description found for parameter 'tab)[256]' .//lib/crc32.c:293: warning: Excess function parameter 'tab' description in 'crc32_be_generic' .//lib/crc32.c:1: warning: no structured comments found .//mm/memory.c:2881: warning: No description found for parameter 'old' XMLREF Documentation/DocBook/kernel-api.aux.xml HTML Documentation/DocBook/kernel-api.html .... In this example, the sphinx build is started as a side effect even if it is not rebuild in this example, because nothing in reST content has changed: "looking for now-outdated files... none found". As far as I can see, this is done **because** Makefile.sphinx ignores DOCBOOK.
