Yea, there is a error in the Makefile logic which requires sphix when run 'make [all]'. I'll fix this.

To mitigate this in the meanwhile you can comment out Makefile line 1035 'FLASHROM_VERSION=$(VERSION) $(SPHINXBUILD) -b man doc .'

Please be aware, that we are in the process of switching to the meson build system and the Makefile might be removed in the near feature.

Hi Alex,

This is definitely not intended behaviour: sphinx is optional. If it
is not present, flashrom can be built, just without docs.
I didn't have sphinx locally for a while, and was building the sources
without it. Only installed it very recently, because I started to add
docs.

Can you tell exactly how you are building? Logs maybe? I want to help.
