The error happens during "make install" *only* and is the following:

No I didn't compile in separate object directories, what's the use of
doing this? Anyway, I have also tried this

cd gtkhtml
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/evo/lib/pkgconfig/  CC='ccache gcc' CFLAGS=-g
LDFLAGS=-L/opt/evo/lib NOCONFIGURE=y  bash ./autogen.sh
--prefix='/opt/evo' --disable-deprecated-warning-flags

cd ../obj/gtkhtml
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/evo/lib/pkgconfig/  CC='ccache gcc' CFLAGS=-g
LDFLAGS=-L/opt/evo/lib   bash ../../gtkhtml/autogen.sh
--prefix='/opt/evo' --disable-deprecated-warning-flags

but I got another error during the last step:

[...]
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... yes
checking whether NLS is requested... yes
checking for style of include used by make... GNU
checking for gcc... ccache gcc
checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in `/home/stefano/src/obj/gtkhml':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

But I didn't use the option "-b" while cloning the git repositories,
just forgot, is it really necessary? what does it do? it is not in the
manual pages

Sorry it these are trivial questions!
bye
