[erlang-bugs] R14B02: "make install-docs" fails on Ubuntu 10.04 / 10.10 (using the source tar-ball)

[Lukas Larsson]

Ah, ok. Then the workaround only works for Andrews problem, but not for
yours. Adding escript (without the $(ERL_TOP)/bin) before
$(ERL_TOP)/lib/erl_docgen/priv/bin/xref_mod_app.escript -topdir
$(ERL_TOP) -outfile $(ERL_TOP)/make/$(TARGET)/mod2app.xml should do the
trick as long as you have the latest version of erlang in your path
while building. 

That will probably have to be good enough for now, unless someone comes
up with a solution which addresses the problem with configuring which vm
to use.
