Commit 5240f4e68d42 ("[media] DocBook/media/Makefile: Avoid make htmldocs to fail") introduced a mkdir which is always called through install_media_images from the Documentation/DocBook/Makefile htmldocs rule. If you run 'make htmldocs' more than once you get: mkdir: cannot create directory ‘./Documentation/DocBook//media_api’: File exists Add -p to the mkdir to continue no matter if the dir already exists. Signed-off-by: Graham Whaley <graham.whaley@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- This error happens for me even on a 'make cleandocs; make htmldocs', so I'm not sure how it got through - maybe if you only rebuild a single file each time then it does not show up. Odd, maybe it is a specific thing on my system, but I can't think of anything that would cause that?
