Bug Description

It appears that the file xmhtml_1.1.7.orig.tar.gz is missing a 'src' directory. According to the Imakefile in the tar file, the SUBDIRS is defined as "src http examples tools book", all of which exist except src.

In Makefile, which is used to build the package in Debian/Ubuntu, SUBDIRS is defined as "lib http examples tools".
My guess is that somewhere along the line 'src' was renamed to 'lib' and Imakefile was never updated.

As this is a bug in the source tarball and doesn't affect the Debian/Ubuntu packaging, I'm marking it "Won't Fix", but feel free to comment further.

I figured that out, but I thought it was something that *should* be fixed, should you ever plan to compile it again. Leaving it unfixed is sloppy. I have found that xmkmf does not build a proper Makefile, either, which implies tome the Imakefile and XmHTML.cf files are also out of date.

Just my opinion.
