[dune-pdelab] *** No rule to make target `doxygen-tag', needed by `install-doxygen'. Stop.

sorry, it seems that mailman doesn't like S/MIME signed mails and therefore 
destroys the text. So here's my last mail without a signature and hopefully 
without lost characters as well:

doxygen is (of course) installed. The HTML docs are all generated nicely. No 
errors during build. Also I don't believe that a missing doxygen could cause a 
broken makefile since doxygen runs *after* all makefiles have been generated 
and it doesn't manipulate any makefiles by itself, right?

What is wml? Do you mean this? http://thewml.org/distrib/index.phtml
Shouldn't the build process fail somehow if a required tool is missing?

You're correct, the 2.0snapshot installation fails due to two other bugs. 
First, some install script does something like this:

list=$(echo *.png *.gif)

in dune-pdelab/doc/doxygen/html, which contains no .gif files. This ends with 
some later command actually trying to open a file called *.gif, which 
obviously fails. This can be worked around by touching a dummy.gif. 

Next thing is this:

test -z "/usr/local/share/doc/dune-pdelab" || /bin/mkdir -p 
"/usr/local/share/doc/dune-pdelab"
test -z "/usr/local/include/dune/pdelab/finiteelementmap" || /bin/mkdir -p

I don't know autotools well enough to fix that right now, but it also seems to 
be due to autotools config breakage. However I don't need all this if we can 
get the 2.1snapshot to work instead. So, any idea on the missing doxygen-tag 
target? BTW, in 2.0 the doxygen-tag target does exist, if that helps.

Thanks so far,
Victor
