Dear Maintainer,

I did:
  sudo apt update
  sudo apt build-dep dbus
  apt source dbus
  cd dbus-1.14.6
  debuild -b -uc -us

and after some time and lots of output I see:
  /usr/bin/mkdir -p /home/peterc/src/dbus-1.14.6/debian/tmp/usr/share/doc/dbus

Maybe some build dependency is missing from the control file?

THe missing build-depend is on qhelpgenerator-qt5

Installing that allowed the build to complete successfully.

Control: tags -1 moreinfo

Peter,

The default for configure --enable-qt-help defaults is auto. However, you
appear to building directly on a production system and I suspect you have some
Qt package installed on the system which then means the build enables qt-help.

To get a standard build you should use a build chroot (pbuilder, sbuild,
qemubuild...)

Doing that, the configure stage includes

 checking for qhelpgenerator... no
 checking for qhelpgenerator-qt5... no

the qt help files are not attempted and the build succeeds.

Can you attach the failing build log without qhelpgenerator-qt5 installed?

Thanks

Mark

Does your system have qtchooser installed?

If so, that is the cause of the auto enablement of qt-help.

I suppose we could explicitly specify --enable-qt-help=no in d/rules.
