[GRASS-dev] errors in pdfdocs creation

[Moritz Lennert]

Trying to run make pdfdocs in grass6_trunk, I get errors in the 
following directories:

lib/gis
lib/vector
swig

[Markus N: this means that if you move those three to the end of the 
pdfdocs part of the Makefile, you will get all the other parts of the 
ref-manual compiled into pdfs.]

The error message is not very explicit (at least not for me), even when 
running with make -d:

Must remake target `refman.pdf'.

The error seems to happen while going through line 46 of 
include/Make/Doxygen.make, i.e.:

(cd ./latex && $(MAKE) refman.pdf && mv refman.pdf 
grass${GRASS_VERSION_MAJOR}${GRASS_VERSION_MINOR}$(DOXOUTPUT)_`date 
'+%Y_%m_%d'`_refman.pdf)

Going into the ./latex directory and running make, I get the same error. 
However, refman.pdf seems to be created alright. And when I run the 
individual commands in latex/Makefile by hand, i.e.

         pdflatex refman.tex
         makeindex refman.idx
         pdflatex refman.tex
         latex_count=5 ; \
         while egrep -s 'Rerun (LaTeX|to get cross-references right)' 
refman.log && [ $$latex_count -gt 0 ] ;\
             do \
               echo "Rerunning latex...." ;\
               pdflatex refman.tex ;\
               latex_count=`expr $$latex_count - 1` ;\
             done

I get no error message (actually there is no message on rerunning latex 
in the log, so the entire loop is skipped).

Any ideas of how to debug this ?
