Re: [Help-gsl] test release for GSL 2.6

Hey Patrick,

Congrats on 2.5.90!

Works for me on Ubuntu 18.04 x86_64, additionally trying a VPATH build,
using -j for parallelism, and running 'make -j install' for a non-standard
prefix.

cd doc ; make html


'make html' works in a regular build.  I've not looked at the Sphinx docs
before.  They're pretty.

Does not work from a VPATH build (i.e. unpack GSL sources, run autogen.sh,
create a wholly separate directory, then run GSL's configure from inside
that separate directory).  In particular, with messages...

    make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/rhys/Build/gsl-gcc/doc/examples'
    Error: Config directory doesn't contain a conf.py file.

VPATH building of documentation is an edge case.  Likely not worth pursuing
a fix at all and certainly not worth holding up 2.6.  I just tried it
because I tend to use VPATH for autoconfiscated projects.
