running it manually gives a simple reason :
[seijitsu@astrux scripts]$ perl generate_lscp_shell_reference.pl
Can't locate XML/Parser.pm in @INC (you may need to install the
XML::Parser module) (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl
/usr/share/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl
/usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/core_perl
/usr/share/perl5/core_perl .) at generate_lscp_shell_reference.pl line
15.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at generate_lscp_shell_reference.pl line 15.

this is coderent with a recent message in the AUR :
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linuxsampler-svn/ where a
dependency for perl-xml-parser has been added.
But when compiling from source without this requirement, the script
probably fails and the file is not generated.

I now realize that i could have used the linuxsampler-svn from AUR
repository to automatically deal with the dependencies, but on another
hand maybe the make process could catch the error from the perl script
?
