[Bug 95508] gnome-doc-utils.make contains syntax errors

[Bengt Thuree]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-doc-utils

Making all in docs
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/xxx/development/f-spot/trunk/docs'
../gnome-doc-utils.make:63: *** missing separator.  Stop.

:~/development/f-spot/trunk$ ls -la gnome-doc-utils.make
lrwxrwxrwx 1 xxx xxx 47 2007-03-24 23:11 gnome-doc-utils.make -> /usr/share/gnome-doc-utils/gnome-doc-utils.make

~/development/f-spot/trunk$ apt-cache show gnome-doc-utils
Package: gnome-doc-utils
Priority: optional
Section: gnome
Installed-Size: 2816
Maintainer: Ubuntu Core Developers <ubuntu-devel-discuss at lists.ubuntu.com>

Architecture: all
Version: 0.10.1-0ubuntu1

Row 63 in gnome-doc-utils.make contains the following.
dist-check-gdu:
if !HAVE_GNOME_DOC_UTILS
        @echo "*** GNOME Doc Utils must be installed in order to make dist"
        @false
endif

If I add a <TAB> as first character on the above rows (if to endif), so it looks like this.
dist-check-gdu:
        if !HAVE_GNOME_DOC_UTILS
                @echo "*** GNOME Doc Utils must be installed in order to make dist"
                @false
        endif


Then make reports failure as below:
../gnome-doc-utils.make:345: *** missing separator.  Stop.

Row 345 looks like this.
if ENABLE_SK
_ENABLE_SK = true
else
_ENABLE_SK = false
endif

Changing this to...

if ENABLE_SK; then \
_ENABLE_SK = true;  \
else \
_ENABLE_SK = false \
fi;

and I can compile as usual.
