Log of build failure

Building xdg-utils 1.1.1 from recent master on Ubuntu 14.04.2 I get a bunch of errors like this during do_compile:

| No way to convert HTML to text found.
| Try either installing text web browser(lynx/w3m/links) or use option --with-fop
| make[1]: *** [xdg-desktop-menu.txt] Error 1

(Complete do_compile log attached).

    xdg-utils: Do not build the in-script documentation
    
    Building the contents for "--manual" option requires a web browser
    or java. That's bonkers so let's not do it.
