Inaccurate dependancy for Fontconfig-2.3.2 in BLFS SVN

[tinglix@…]

The note for Fontconfig-2.3.2 (SNV circa 20050102) has it that " If you have DocBook-utils installed and you remove the --disable-docs parameter from the configure command below, you must have SGMLSpm and JadeTeX-3.13 installed also, or the Fontconfig build will fail. " However, it seems that the SGMLSpm is required REGARDLESS of whether --disable-docs is used. I didn't remove the --disable-docs parameter, and then get some error message in the build phase, saying that a command

sgmlspl

cannot be found. Googling around, I found that this sgmlspl program is part of the GMSLSpm package. After I installed GMSLSpm, the comilation went through. It seems that SGMLSpm should be added to the dependancy for fontconfig

On my most recent build of just a month ago or so, I built fontconfig while still in Chapter 6 chroot of LFS. I did not have the SGMLSpm, or any other docbook/sgml packages installed. Fontconfig built fine without any problems.

Marking this bug as WORKSFORME. As there is nothing in the bug report showing some sort of log or some text other than "get some error message in the build phase, saying that a command sgmlspl cannot be found", and I cannot not duplicate this, I'm not sure it can be identified, or fixed.

I examined the build logs from my last two builds of Fontconfig, and grepping through all the logs does not show any instance of sgmlspl.
