When trying to compile curl library I get the following error during the
configure stage:

.....
checking whether to enable the threaded resolver... no
checking whether to enable verbose strings... yes
checking whether to enable SSPI support (Windows native builds only)... no
checking whether to enable cryptographic authentication methods... yes
checking whether to enable NTLM delegation to winbind's helper... no
checking whether to enable TLS-SRP authentication... yes
checking whether to enable support for cookies... yes
checking whether hiding of library internal symbols will actually happen...
yes
checking whether to enforce SONAME bump... no
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: error: cannot find input file: `docs/Makefile.in'
Making all in lib

there is simply no docs subdirectory. I guess something is suppose to
create it but what?

I configured with:

./configure --host=$TARGET --target=$TARGET --prefix=$RUN_ARC_DIR
--libdir=$RUN_ARC_DIR --disable-shared --disable-ftp --disable-file
--disable-ldap --disable-dict --disable-telnet --disable-tftp
--disable-rtsp --disable-pop3 --disable-imap --disable-smtp
--disable-gopher --disable-ares --disable-debug --without-ssl
--without-zlib --without-libidn --disable-manual

where TARGET to set to my architecture (cross-compile).

I search for prerequisites (packages) in the FAQ and install instruction.
But I could not find any such list. I do have the usual suspects (automake,
autoconfigure, libtoo, etc) and I do compile successfully others library
(tinyxml, busybox).

I am om Ubuntu 12.04

Any suggestions?

Thanks
