在私有目录下编译selinux

Question

I'm trying to compile selinux in a private directory as drescribed here: https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux

For the compilation to work I also compiled xmlto and added it's bin-dir to $PATH.

The compilation fails with the following lines.

xmlto man secilc.8.xml
xmlto: /opt/seafile/Sourcecode/selinux/secilc/secilc.8.xml does not validate (status 3)
xmlto: Fix document syntax or use --skip-validation option
I/O error : Attempt to load network entity http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd

make[1]: Verzeichnis „/opt/seafile/Sourcecode/selinux/secilc“ wird verlassen
make: *** [Makefile:34: install] Fehler 1

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Can I somehow tell make not to build the documentation? Seem's to be a manpages thing.

Additional info: I actually only need libselinux since It's required by seafile for some reason.

Thanks in advance

Unfortunately you're not mentioning the Linux distribution you're using. Your system is missing the "XML document type definitions for DocBook", often shipped in a package called docbook-dtds (Fedora, RHEL/CentOS) or docbook-xml (Debian). Alternatively you could adapt your packet filter so that your system reaches the mentioned URLs in the error message.
