Can you comment on the --enable-html-docs issue? It claims to be "auto" but actually causes a fatal error in configure if the underlying package is not present
It's subtle :) It's optional, but defaults to a hard-dependency unless we already have a copy of the HTML manual (e.g. from a source tarball). There is a comment in the check's source explaining this (*m4/geany-docutils.m4*, *GEANY_CHECK_DOCUTILS_HTML*):
we require rst2html by default unless we don't build from Git and already have the HTML manual built in-tree
