From 2f8d643c76f5aa933b95a50092132ef37af203c7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Purdie Date: Thu, 29 Sep 2011 23:26:07 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Remove help2man dependency The help2man script is pretty useless to us. It requires to run the target binary to extract help information which is not possible for any of our cross compiled target binaries. We're not interested in man pages for -cross/-native tools. It therefore makes no sense to have this as a core build dependency. This patch removes the dependeny and replaces it with a script returning false. This will trigger autotool's missing utility to use the copy of the man page included with the sources which is what would already happen when we tried to run cross compiled binaries anyway.
