When generating docs in a VPATH build we get a failure to create a file due to the 'internals' subdir not existing: Generating internals/locking.html.tmp /bin/sh: line 3: internals/locking.html.tmp: No such file or directory rm: cannot remove ‘internals/locking.html.tmp’: No such file or directory Makefile:2229: recipe for target 'internals/locking.html.tmp' failed make: *** [internals/locking.html.tmp] Error 1 For some reason, make has decided to run the target %.html.tmp: %.html.in site.xsl page.xsl sitemap.html.in $(acl_generated) instead of the target internals/%.html.tmp: internals/%.html.in subsite.xsl page.xsl sitemap.html.in Removing '$(acl_generated)' from the first target, inexplicably causes make to now run the correct target for the internals/ files. Rather than figure this out, lets just combine the two targets into one. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
