That is irritating - it's working on my system (build system = Makefile). Can
you please provide a more detailed log? AUTHORS-SHORT should already have been
created before trying to generate AUTHORS-SHORT-FORMAT, see

toplevel CMakeLists.txt:

ADD_CUSTOM_COMMAND(
        OUTPUT  AUTHORS-SHORT-FORMAT
                wireshark.pod
        COMMAND ${PERL}
                ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/doc/perlnoutf.pl
                ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/doc/make-authors-format.pl
                < AUTHORS-SHORT
                > AUTHORS-SHORT-FORMAT
        COMMAND cat
                ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/doc/wireshark.pod.template
                AUTHORS-SHORT-FORMAT
                > wireshark.pod
        DEPENDS
                ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/doc/perlnoutf.pl
                ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/doc/make-authors-format.pl
                AUTHORS-SHORT
                ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/doc/wireshark.pod.template
)

Maybe something went wrong with the current directory or the creation of
AUTHORS-SHORT?

Can you please check whether it tried to generate AUTHORS-SHORT before the
failuer?

Thanks

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
