[Christoph Spiel <cspiel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Should be fixed in rev 78a09bc743b7, which will be backported to 4.2.1.

Given the complexity and sheer mass of checks for the documentation,
I expect more bugs to show up time after time.

Title:
  enblend 4.2 build error without latex

Status in Enblend:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  enblend 4.2 has a hard dependency on (pdf)latex:

  checking for perl module Time::Zone... ok
  checking for latex... no
  checking for elatex... no
  checking for lambda... no
  ../configure: line 8623: WARNING:: command not found
  checking for pdflatex... ../configure: line 8655: WARNING:: command not found
  no
  checking for latex... no
  checking for elatex... no
  checking for lambda... no
  configure: error: Unable to find a LaTeX application

  Afaict this code in configure.ac fails to work as expected:
  -----------------------------------
  can_build_doc=yes

  AC_PATH_PROGS(LATEX, [latex elatex lambda],
                [AC_MSG_WARN(missing LaTeX translator)
                 can_build_doc=no
                 missing_for_doc="$missing_for_doc latex"])
  AC_PATH_PROG(PDFLATEX, pdflatex,
               [AC_MSG_WARN([missing PDFLaTeX translator -- no direct translation of LaTeX to PDF available])
                missing_for_doc="$missing_for_doc pdflatex"])

  if test "$latex" != 'no'
  then
    AC_LATEX_CLASS(report,report,[],
                   [AC_MSG_WARN(missing document class report.cls)
                    can_build_doc=no
                    missing_for_doc="$missing_for_doc report.cls"])
  -------------------------------------
  AC_PATH_PROGS would set $LATEX  ("upper case") on success and can_build_doc=no otherwise but the code checks "$latex" != 'no' instead of '"$can_build_doc'='yes'. Therefore AC_LATEX_CLASS is always invoked which afaict invokes AC_PROG_LATEX and throws a hard error of AC_PROG_LATE fails.
