Thread: [patch] to build docs on Mac OS X El Capitan with MacPorts

The attached patch was required to get the docs to build on Mac OS X 10.11.1 (15B42) with MacPorts 2.3.4.  After
changingdocbook.m4 ‘autoreconf’ has to be run.  This patch does not include the new version of ‘configure' 

As explained in the devel documentation (J.2.6) the docs could be made to build by adding ‘export
DOCBOOKSTYLE=/opt/local/share/dsssl/docbook-dsssl'

However, in J.2.4 it implies that just using MacPorts will work without additional setup.  This patch makes that
happen.

Can anyone else verify this?

I should add that this was required for a postgres git build using MacPorts to supply dependencies and not a build of
postgresusing MacPorts.
