To Orion and Andrew:

Please try revision 12479 with cmake options -DBUILD_DOX_DOC=ON
-DBUILD_DOC=ON (which should build both the doxygen and docbook
documentation).  That case works without errors for me when I run
"make DESTDIR=<whatever> install" on Debian wheezy.

I would also advise using -DBUILD_DOX_DOC=ON when generating Fedora
rpm's or Debian packages.

Of course, both our doxygen-generated and docbook-generated
documentation needs work (see my recent comments about some of the bit
rot that is showing up for the doxygen documentation, and Lord knows
it is long past time to move our docbook generation completely over to
docbook XML tools rather than partially relying on historical docbook
SGML tools which are no longer maintained). Nevertheless, despite
these known issues, the results we now have for both doxygen and
docbook are well worth distributing. Therefore, since both of you
already distribute the docbook results, I think you will probably both
want to distribute the doxygen results as well.
