Description Tomáš Hozza 2016-03-26 13:43:03 UTC
Description of problem:
Makefile generated by Python3 version of sphinx-quickstart-3 is not usable out of the box. When I generate documentation for my new project using sphinx-quickstart-3, the generated Makefile does not work.

$ make
Makefile:12: *** The 'sphinx-build' command was not found. Make sure you have Sphinx installed, then set the SPHINXBUILD environment variable to point to the full path of the 'sphinx-build' executable. Alternatively you can add the directory with the executable to your PATH. If you don't have Sphinx installed, grab it from http://sphinx-doc.org/.  Stop.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
python3-sphinx-1.2.3-3.fc22.noarch

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run sphinx-quickstart-3
2. run 'make'

Actual results:
$ make
Makefile:12: *** The 'sphinx-build' command was not found. Make sure you have Sphinx installed, then set the SPHINXBUILD environment variable to point to the full path of the 'sphinx-build' executable. Alternatively you can add the directory with the executable to your PATH. If you don't have Sphinx installed, grab it from http://sphinx-doc.org/.  Stop.

Expected results:
Makefile should be working!

Comment 2 Tomáš Hozza 2016-03-29 13:26:24 UTC
Hi.

During the discussion in https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/612, Petr Viktorin advised that the cleanest solution may be to convince upstream to use "python3 -m <module>" syntax in generated Makefile instead of directly using sphinx-build. Of course the interpreter in Makefile would be then the same as was used to invoke sphinx-quickstart.
