how to turn docbuild off with conda

[Martin R]

Dear all,

Using the "classical" install, I can do "configure --disable-doc" so docs are not build and recompilation is reasonably fast.

How can I do this in a conda install.  When I start sage, it tells me

../../src/doc/meson.build:5: WARNING: Documentation building enabled, generating targets may be slow. To disable this, pass -Dbuild-docs=false. 

but I do not understand how I can pass this option.  I tried

(sage-dev) martin@toolbox:~/sage-trac$ meson configure -Dbuild-docs=False

ERROR: No valid build directory found, cannot modify options.

Best wishes,

Martin

meson setup your-build-dir -Dbuild-docs=False

:-(  this did not work.

I'm not completely sure what my your-build-dir is, I was guessing "build" in the root dir of my sage.  Or is it

 meson-python: building sagemath: /home/martin/miniforge3/envs/sage-dev/bin/ninja

?

Replace "your-build-dir" by something like "build/sagenodoc"

You simply use pip to install sage, right?

In this case,  `pip install <other args> -Csetup-args=" -Dbuild-docs=False" .` should work.
