@wferi I have been talking with @chrissie-c on IRC and here is the summary:

the current build system allows to do normal and cross-compile build as-is.

Once the man pages for libqb will be auto-generated by doxygen2man, people doing normal builds will not notice any difference.

People performing cross-compilation have 2 options:

• do a normal build and install on the system and then do the cross-build to get the man pages generated automatically
• do a cross build and man pages are not generated.

This way we limit the 2 phase bootstrap of libqb only for people doing cross-compilation, that is a minority of the use base, without creating extreme complexity for people doing normal builds.

The infra is in place, just need to extend as we kill hardcoded man pages.

Thanks for this. I think it's ready to go in now.
ACK

Should this really be installed along with the library though? Seems a bit out of place for libqb to install a doxygen-related tool.

See the discussion on #387 which led to this one

And that it is part of the libqb-repo doesn't necessarily mean you would have to package it together with the library so that it would be installed on every production cluster.

In Fedora, it has its own package.
