Makefile bails out on CentOS 8 about yt-dlp HOT 6 CLOSED

After replacing "/usr/bin/env python" with "/usr/bin/env python3" the Makefile still does not run through (because pandoc is not installed). There seems to be a check for it, but it has a typo.

$ make
COLUMNS=80 /usr/bin/env python3 youtube_dlc/__main__.py --help | /usr/bin/env python3 devscripts/make_readme.py
/usr/bin/env python3 devscripts/make_contributing.py README.md CONTRIBUTING.md
/bin/sh: pandoc: command not found
/bin/sh: line 0: [: =: unary operator expected
pandoc -f markdown -t plain README.md -o README.txt
make: pandoc: Command not found
make: *** [Makefile:92: README.txt] Error 127

make is equivalent to make all which also generates all the necessary documentation. pandoc is essential for it. Try using make youtube-dlc to build only the core program

from yt-dlp.

Yes, it builds, after I modified the makefile a bit (except documentation).

Is there a reason, that if I do

$ youtube-dl --help

does not the options for the sponskrub stuff (the --format-sort stuff is present)? Sorry, that I'm pedantic.

Update your source to the current master or release.
It was broken yesterday, but I fixed it when making the release

from yt-dlp.

@shakeyourbunny Did updating fix your issue?

I am closing this since there has been no response
