[GNC] Build 4.8 docs issue

Please remember to send replies to the list rather than individual users. 
Particularly if you are soliciting for answers from "anyone" ;)

As to your problems, can you provide more details ?

It's been a while since I tested  the mobi format. Back then it worked fine, 
also with cmake. You have to enable it explicitly though by passing 
'-DWITH_MOBI=ON' to the cmake call.

I wouldn't spend too much effort on it though. We're currently considering to 
drop that format. It has been abandoned by Amazon as well.

Regards,

Geert
