Subject: manual generation: check dependencies first
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6fb84874b2545d25fdb85b4b2a0a5c8fac1c6305;p=buildroot.git

manual generation: check dependencies first

To generate the manual, you need a few tools. If these are not present,
pretty cryptic error messages are given.
This patch adds a simple check for these dependencies, before attempting to
build the manual.
